I realize ports doesn't have branches, I've also discovered the hours of
work I have to do due to MAJOR changes in the system not being discussed
with the userbase
eg
[Updating the pkgdb <format:bdb1_btree> in /var/db/pkg ... - 442 packages
found (-0 +1) . done]
Updating the ports index ... Generating INDEX.tmp - please wait..
cannot create /usr/ports/INDEX.tmp.tmp: read-only file system
Warning: Duplicate INDEX entry: freeciv-gtk2-1.14.2
Warning: Duplicate INDEX entry: fvwm-imlib-2.4.19
