Thank you for your answer. I learned something, but I still appear to be
missing something obvious. My supfile is appended below. Using the line
*default tag=RELENG_5_2_1_RELEASE list=cvs:RELENG_5_2
works as I anticipate for src-* collections, creating checkout files with
the appropriate name. However, even with the line
*default tag=RELENG_5_2_1_RELEASE list=cvs:.
above the ports-* collections, this supfile results in cvsup deleting all
the files in my ports tree.
