    Tools/portbuild/scripts updatesnap 
  Log:
  Script run from cron to regularly update the master ZFS copies of the
  ports and source trees.  Since we have >=1 consumer of these trees
  that run frequently but do not insist on up-to-the-second trees, it
  makes sense to "pre-update" them regularly and then then re-use in all
  of the consumers, instead of potentially doing several updates
  simultaneously or on demand.  Consumers can clone the ZFS snapshot
  into their local filesystem which takes a couple of seconds instead of
  minutes or tens of minutes for the CVS update.
  
  We update to a date stamp instead of "." because this avoids
  ambiguity of commits that happen while the tree update is in progress
  (unfortunately it's slower).
