(I vaguely remember hearing that something > bad might happen if they got removed.) The something bad you're remembering is probably if you try to set the tag to something else, like RELENG_2_2. That will promptly delete your ports and docs, because they aren't tagged the same way as the main source tree. The "." tag is valid for all the collections that originally came out of the CVS repository. So the question is: Do you want to ... * Have the ports and docs in source form ==> keep the ``tag=.'', or * Have the ports and docs in CVS repository form ==> get rid of the ``tag=.''. Note, if you do decide to get rid of the tag clause, you will probably want to also change your "prefix" setting to some other directory, so that your CVS files don't get mixed together with your old text-form sources. The prefix for ports and docs should be the same one that you set for your "src-*" collections in CVS form. The standard prefix is "/home/ncvs" but it doesn't really matter what you use.
