I missed it, that is common for arkane rules.

Now, would some person who knows why we do keep to certain rites
add one section to

https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/committers-guide/ports.html#ports-qa-repocopies

to explain *why* we do this ? We already have a 'when' and 'how', but
no 'why' section.

A section to explain how a repo-copy can be re-applied after it
was done wrong, would probably help others as well. As
can be seen by my recent attempt, it's not simple.

Any chance to have a script similar to the mfh-script, that
re-does repo-copies ?
