>Description:
When installing cvsupit (from ports/net/cvsupit on a fresh 4.5-R system, or from <ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/development/CVSup/cvsupit.tgz>), the specified release tag (e.g., "*default  tag=RELENG_4") is overriden by a "*default tag=." line lower in the file. According to the man page, lower lines override higher lines in case of a conflict.
>How-To-Repeat:
Run cvsupit from ports (or ftp site). Select RELENG_4, full source, ports, and docs. View /etc/cvsupfile, and observe something like the following:

*default  host=cvsup4.FreeBSD.org
*default  base=/usr
*default  prefix=/usr
*default  release=cvs
*default  tag=RELENG_4
*default  delete use-rel-suffix

src-all
src-crypto
src-secure
*default tag=.
ports-all
doc-all

>Fix:
Don't generate the "*default tag=." line unless desired by the user.
