Ah.. the light comes on!  Thanks.. that was where I was missing the
boat.

Assuming someone installed the 4.8-RELEASE ports tree from their
CDROM, then the ports-supfile would need to contain:

  *default tag=RELENG_4_8_0_RELEASE list=cvs:.

for the first cvsup to adopt that ports tree and then change the
ports-supfile to:

  *default release=cvs tag=.

for the second cvsup to update to the latest ports tree.

I'll have to dig out the old 486 that has some release installed on
it and give it a try.  Cvsup must do an excellent job of keeping
track of sources even though the adoption isn't done since I rarely
see the adoption mentioned in the lists.

Thanks for the clarification!
