Some tags are valid only for certain collections of files. If you specify an incorrect or misspelled tag, CVSup will delete files which you probably do not want deleted. In particular, use only tag=. for the ports-* collections. Ports don't have branches. So RELENG_4 means nothing to it. You either have the latest ports, or you don't.
