poudriere merging multiple ports trees

[Henrik Rosenke]

Greetings,

i just added the overlay to my portstree, works good and great addition. 
I wonder how you handle moved ports with this? As example we are using a 
adapted Version of sysutils/sge62 with own patches but i need to remove 
this Line in MOVED on the Original portstree to allow building it. Is 
there a way to handle such exceptions or do i need to rename it? Is 
there any Documentation about this?

Kind regards,

Henrik Rosenke
