      WARNING: Be very careful to specify any "tag=" fields correctly.
      Some tags are valid only for certain collections of files.
      If you specify an incorrect or misspelled tag, CVSup will
      delete files which you probably do not want deleted. In
      particular, use only "tag=." for the "ports-*" collections.

--end

cvsup is very useful if for instance, you have a machine that you cannot
upgrade, but you need a port, the current port doesn't seem to work,
you can CVSup backwards to your particular SNAP do build the port.
