It's a repocopy - in cases like this, instead of starting a fresh file
at version 1.1, one of the cvs administrators copies the files from
the old port so that the history is maintained. So, the copy happened,
but a committer hasn't actually upgraded the port yet.

It's discussed in the committers guide:
