When specifying a tag in CVSup's configuration file, it must be preceded with tag= (RELENG_4 will become tag=RELENG_4). Keep in mind that only the tag=. is relevant for the ports collection. But the quote below is says: Note: The ports tree does not have any tag associated with it, it is always CURRENT. I guess it means that it will just delete and install the ports collection no matter what the tag points too. I had to do a sanity check. I started second guessing myself.
