Portupgrade gets confused by this: OK, that's clear now, thanks. The intent of the MOVED format was that upgrade utilities should parse entries after the date of the port being processed to see whether they should be migrated to another port directory, but even trying to express that in english it's clear that it's not a properly formulated algorithm (what date? It's not the installation date of the port; the date of the most recent makefile CVS commit at the time of installation may suffice, but this information is not recorded in the port), and the file format was poorly designed. I think there's also a PR about this, which I haven't had time to read.
