There's nothing arcane about repocopies Kurt.  I'm honestly surprised
why people make this mistake again and again.  When you resurrect a
port you make a repocopy.  When you spin-off a new branch based on a
previous version you make a repocopy (like you've added a new wildfly
port, how could you not have noticed that there are a handful of ports
thereof already?):

  $ grep wildfly /usr/ports/java/Makefile
    SUBDIR += wildfly10
    SUBDIR += wildfly11
    SUBDIR += wildfly12
    SUBDIR += wildfly13
    SUBDIR += wildfly14
    SUBDIR += wildfly15
    SUBDIR += wildfly90

Upstream renames their software, you make a repocopy, etc.  Basically,
every time there is an ancestral connection between what you've about
to add and some [pre-]existing port, you make a repocopy.  It's a no
brainer.  Feel free to ask me every time when you have your doubts.
