According to the man page, lower lines override higher lines in case of a conflict. >How-To-Repeat: Run cvsupit from ports (or ftp site). Select RELENG_4, full source, ports, and docs. View /etc/cvsupfile, and observe something like the following: *default host=cvsup4.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs *default tag=RELENG_4 *default delete use-rel-suffix src-all src-crypto src-secure *default tag=. ports-all doc-all >Fix: Don't generate the "*default tag=." line unless desired by the user. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
