Subject: preventing cvsup from replacing /usr/ports symlink?

My /usr/ports is a symlink to another filesystem (/a/ports).  Last night
cvsup nuked that symlink and filled my root filesystem with ports.  How
do I avoid that?

Do I need to add a line `*default prefix=/a' just before `ports-all' in
the cvsupfile?
