The script issued a warning mail(s) nagging about the commit, and I
made myself quite clear in the attached commit log.  So, everyone on
the ports@ list that read the mail could see that I knew what I was
doing and I intentionally reset PORTREVISION.  Thus the chkversion.pl
script served its purpose.  What's the problem?  What made you think
that you must commit the "fix" ?

I'm not opposing but just wondering.
