We use cvsup here, daily, to update the ports tree ... and based on
someone else's post (alex?), finding out that portsnap overwrites the
ports tree, which I'm taking to mean it will remove anything I add to
it, makes changing over for me a no-op :(
Caveat: I don't maintain or use portsnap! The overwrite behaviour was
correct last time I checked (several months ago) and was deemed
"difficult" to correct because of the way portsnap worked.
The 6.1 man page still says:
update Update a ports tree extracted using the extract command.
You must run this command to apply changes to your ports
tree after downloading updates via the fetch or cron commands.
Again, note that in the parts of the ports tree which are being updated,
any local changes or additions will be removed.
Not insurmountable if you religiously keep all changes in some other
repository (tar, cvs?) but I personally do not see enough benefit.
That would mean to me that counting would have to include cvsup, even if
that under-counted.
