I don't understand it either. Perhaps that should read "... dependency
updates, *as* if there is no directory for it in..."? Otherwise that=20
bit of text effectively says that +IGNOREME has no effect for ports that
either exist currently in the ports tree, or that used to and that have a=

entry in MOVED. Which would make +IGNOREME pretty useless most of the
time.
