Portsnap says it will lose local changes, and refuses to update a ports tree I restored over a fresh one (with files as the above). (It wants it created anew again...) ......... SVN, until I learn how, may not cleanly merge the former ports tree (with the extra files) into the new tree and let the extra files stay there (as portsnap's man page suggest it also might.) I know I could craft a thumbdrive, ftp server, etc etc solution but as this is a wholesale change of how I've always updated ports I am looking for someone else's suggestions (who use portsnap and/or ctm and/or svn, and also have extra files in the ports tree) about which methodology I might try to setup on one machine, and if it works, plan the rest before csup/cvsup deprecates (unless they remain in non-official svn>csup servers somewhere, so to speak...)
