The 2nd scenario (re: "negleted to 'adopt' ...") must be what's going
on here, since I use the standard supfiles in /usr/share/examples/cvsup,
which contain the `delete` directive.

I always install ports from CD/DVD, then immediately cvsup afterwards.
I have never known about this "requirement" until now.

The handbook should really mention this.  Gut feeling says Mr. Symonds
and I are not the only two who have been doing it this way...
