This line defines what _version_ of the ports you want.  "tag=." says
to get whatever the most updated version is.  This is usually what
you want (for ports).  For future reference, if you ever want a version
of the ports other than the most current, you'll change this line.  Also
note that "tag=." is usually _not_ what you want when cvsupping FreeBSD
source.

Delete files that have been removed from CVS from your version.

use-rel-suffix controls some bookkeeping that cvsup up does so it can
run efficiently.  You probably want to leave that alone.

Chances are good you can stick with the defaults.
