Hi all,

portsnap is a very nice way to keep your ports tree in sync, but it has 
the disadvantage that it keeps your ports tree in sync :)  If you make 
local changes (e.g. adding a patch) they get clobbered.  Does anyone know 
of a convenient way to keep ports up to date while preserving local 
patches?

Thanks.
