Make release process for 7.2-STABLE @ r198084

[jhell]

I have just been setting up a release cycle for making some iso's of my 
own for a modified revision of the source that I am going to be using for 
offline use and run into a repetitive copy that I am hoping someone could 
shed some light on.

Output from a make release run. "Portion in question"
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[...]
cd /usr/obj/RELENG/usr &&  cp -R -H /usr/src src
rm -rf /usr/obj/RELENG/usr/ports
cd /usr/obj/RELENG/usr && cp -R -H /usr/ports ports
# If there are distfiles downloaded removing them
rm -rf ports/distfiles/*
rm -rf /usr/obj/RELENG/usr/doc
cd /usr/obj/RELENG/usr && cp -R -H /usr/doc doc
if [ -d /usr/src/release/../../ports/distfiles/ ]; then  cp -rp 
/usr/src/release/../../ports/distfiles 
/usr/obj/RELENG/usr/ports/distfiles;  else  mkdir -p 
/usr/obj/RELENG/usr/ports/distfiles;  fi
----------------------------------------------------------------

>From the above output and what happened my ports tree was copied over 
along with the distfiles the first time cp was issued on the ports 
directory. Then shortly after that it removes the copied distfiles and 
issues the next command to copy the docs over. After it does a test for 
../../ports/distfiles from the release directory which happens to be the 
same directory it previously copied over and then removed and is now 
issuing a command to copy over again?.

Is there a problem with the layout of directories from which I started 
this process maybe?

Fault in the script for make release possibly ?

Did I miss some tunable for the make release ?

>From this setup for a make release everything is a default type of 
structure/setup/layout for ports and source and doc from a install. If I 
have to do this again I don't want to copy over 4+ GiB of distfiles twice.

Thanks.
