easier than 'port dir portname' ?
(and the primary category could be changed more easily if need be).
How often does this really happen? (and svn mv isn't really that hard anyway).
Moreover, if this is implemented, I think that prefixes should be optional, so that those who use a local source with a few ports only could choose to avoid prefixes.
That might be a useful enhancement. -- Daniel J.
