If you aren't using archive mode, and you turn it off (as it's now off by default), the upgrade target will be 'destroot' and things should work like they used to.Off by default? huh.
yep.portmgr (and landonf) decided that archivemode isn't very useful (especially with image mode being the default).
Personally, I switched to direct mode on one machine when there were hardlink performance issues and haven't switched back (direct mode + archives leaves most of the advantages of image mode, is conceptually simpler, and could probably totally replace image mode with a little work, in my opinion).
I use it once in a blue moon, but maybe I should just turn it off.
