This is great for FreshPorts. It simplifies things. I no longer have to keep track of files to patch. I no longer have to patch the files on the fly as commits occur. And I no longer have to patch after a cvsup of the working ports tree. I have changed the code on my development box last night. It looks good so far. It will eventually go into production.
