"portsnap fetch" doesn't affect your ports tree at all, you need to
follow it with "portsnap update".

There's no sense in in routinely mixing the two tools on the same tree.
If you do find that portsnap isn't updating the tree correctly then
you've either found a bug or have some corrupt data somewhere.
