portsnap does not work for src. (I thought we had already covered that
in earlier threads?) portsnap only moves forward. It is a very important
feature for our users that whatever tool they use for source updating be
bidirectional. In particular it is very common practice to use a bisect
operation to isolate changes responsible for regressions.
