I've seen lots and lots of people suggesting the use of sync and never realizing that they weren't upgrading MacPorts. I've found it rather frustrating because it does not seem to be getting better.

Is there a way we can better document this or perhaps change the functionality?

We could slip an option into sync so that it does selfupdate unless you pass it an argument (e.g., sync --portsonly). This will not force users to be re-educated and it will provide the benefit of ensuring people are upgrading correctly.

Thoughts?
