Well, it has problems to begin with. You have included all 3 but didn't 
specify the proper tag. You have docs-all and src-all using the same 
tag. The docs and the ports are only tagged for "tag=.".

When you combine like this, a default tag is preferable to adding tag=? 
to a area. Besides, you don't need to cvsup the docs, src, and ports at 
the same frequency. So, whay add them all to a single script.
