It seems well to me (not that I matter much) to do this much; additionally, what about the section in handbook Appendix A on CVSup (where the text is nearly identical, though the example is not there)? Would it be a Good Thing(tm) to add a brief warning that you shouldn't expect to refuse anything in the ports tree and call 'make index' or 'portsdb -uU', etc., but you can fix the problem by "make fetchindex" if necessary . . . I'll happily file a PR if it seems appropriate to do so to you 'documitters' ... Kevin Kinsey
