No. What it means is that *when you test the tree* the ports tree is mounted, and then your changes are applied to it (like a unionfs). This means that if you've modified a port that the tested port depends on, that one will also be tested. For example: I use my redports account and commit some changes to net-p2p/transmission-c= li I want to test my changes to the slaves too, so I queue some builds for net-p2p/transmission-daemon. These use the modified transmission-cli. Chris
