You already got some good suggestions, but I'd like to offer one more.
What I usually do is to cd to the directory above the port, copy the
port directory to port.Dist, then edit the stuff in the port directory.
When I'm done I go back to the directory above and do 'diff -ur
port.Dist port > port.diff' and then I'm all set. If I remember I
actually use diff -cr because for some silly reason a majority of
developers seem to like context diffs better. :)
HTH,
Doug
