The reason why you now see the full list of ports when you sync your
tree, as opposed to a delta with only the files that have seen
changes since your last sync, is that I changed the way in which the
rsync repos feeding your ports and base trees are populated.
The operation used to involve an svn checkout of the ports and base
trees and then an rsync (excluding certain files and dirs) from that
checkout onto the rsync repos, wherefrom users get them through sync/
selfupdate.
Now we don't just rsync the svn checkout onto the rsync server with
some particular flags to exclude files we don't want in there,
like .svn control dirs, but instead we "svn export" the trees to
prepare them in a more formal fashion before pushing them to the
rsync server. That operation presumably resets a timestamp on each
file and dir and that's why you pull the entire thing again when you
sync/selfupdate after each half an hour (the periodicity of the rsync
server re-population).
In other words, we were preparing the rsync repos rather manually
before and now we let "svn export" do that for us. The entire process
is described in the script I re-wrote and in the config file
detailing the rsync server setup:
http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/browser/trunk/base/portmgr/
mprsyncup
http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/browser/trunk/base/portmgr/
rsync.repos
Improvements to the mprsyncup script are welcome, I personally don't
like pulling the entire thing over and over again after every half an
hour either, but I do like relying on "svn export". I'm sure there
are rsync flags we could use to recover the delta part of the old
behavior while still keeping "svn export", but I just haven't had the
time to investigate. Again, suggestions/improvements are welcome! ;-)

Whenever I've done a port sync recently (and I do it most days), I
seem to be downloading the whole heirarchy every time, and none of
my ports are outdated when I do a port outdated. I used to just get
a listing of the ports that had changed when I did a sudo port -d
selfupdate, I can't believe that everything is updated every day.
Maybe it is subtly changing every day, but it just seems to be the
same long list every day ...
