Hello,

"portsnap extract" extracts the entire ports tree, "replacing existing
files and directories" (from the manpage). "portsnap update" only
extracts the updated ports (after a "portsnap fetch") since the last
extract or update.

Example :
Your ports tree is empty... you use "portsnap fetch extract".
After some time, some ports are updated. You use "portsnap fetch
update" to update your ports tree (after a fetch of course).

Cheers
