Let me re-phrase my prior question:
On ftp.freebsd.org, there are 4 ports directories:
ports-3.0
ports
ports-stable
ports-current

or something like that.  BUT, cvsup will only allow a tag of:  ports-all
tag=.
and won't allow you to specify which cvs branch to get ports out of; if you
specify a tag such as REL_ENG_2.2 for ports, the sample file says it will
delete your existing ports tree.

So, my question:  How do I cvsup a "stable" ports collection to go with my
2.2.8-STABLE system?  Or doesn't it matter, or do I have to just ftp the
port-stable directories, or ???  I can't find the answer to this in the
handbook, etc.  Thanks for your time!
