First, thanks for the tip. I've been wondering how to sync my ports tree
revision to that used for the package repository for a bit, for
precisely this purpose.

Second, I notice the script only covers versions up to 10.1. It fails
for 10-STABLE, which is currently labeled as 10.2-PRERELEASE. I'm
guessing that at present 10-STABLE still uses the same package repo as
10.1-RELEASE, but how would I determine that? I don't want to update the
script and break something because I overlooked some basic precaution. Thanks.
