I want to check for violations of mtree without dumping files on disk. I'm concerned about having a mess to clean up outside mtree.
Anything the port writes inside the destroot but outside the mtree will get a warning message ("this port violates the mtree" or whatever it says) and you can easily clean it up with "port clean" or (if you've already installed the port) with "port uninstall".
Anything the port writes outside the destroot (whether inside or outside the mtree) will not get any warning message and you will have to manually identify and remove files.
Trace mode should prevent unauthorized writes outside destroot, prevent access to things you did not declare dependencies on, etc.
