I sent a long reply to your earlier message on freebsd-ports
explaining exactly this -- how each Ports tree snapshot has a version
number: the date spec.  Also, how a few special snapshots also have a

and use these, with and without cvs.  Am I wasting my time by trying
to answer your questions, E.?
