WARNING! LOOK OUT! VORSICHT! # # If you add any of the ports or doc collections to this file, be sure to # specify them with a "tag" value set to ".", like this: # # ports-all tag=. # doc-all tag=. # # If you leave out the "tag=." portion, CVSup will delete all of # the files in your ports or doc tree. That is because the ports and doc # collections do not use the same tags as the main part of the FreeBSD # source tree. Hope that helps. Jaco
