portmaster some_port vs. portmaster 'some_port*'

Hi,


Maybe I'm not reading the man page correctly, but I would expect 
portmaster, if invoked with a wild-card, to:
- first update the dependencies of the ports matched by the 'some_port*' it
gets on the command line
- then to update the ports matched by said wild-card in dependency order.

At least #1 above doesn't seem to happen for wild-card invocation, but
it happens when invoked with one or two ports:

Bug? Feature? :-)


Thanks for your help,
