For one portmaster is a shell script. For two it means that the upgrade always needs to be connected and able to connect to the freshports site. For three freshports is just an 3rd party site where as you can get commit info right from the FreeBSD.org repo's. Four I don't see why anyone needs the commit info at upgrade time because as a part of administration this should be taken care of before you decide to upgrade anything. Best regards. -- Jason J.
