No, the -R flag in portmaster tells it to not rebuild

I don't see any equivalent functionality for portmaster,
sadly.
This is actually portmaster's default behaviour. So:
portupgrade -R foo/bar is equivalent to portmaster foo/bar
portupgrade -fRr foo/bar is equivalent to portmaster -fr foo/bar
I'm not seeing where portmaster has the portupgrade -R functionality
("rebuild this port and those it depends on").
portmaster(8) says "The focus of this tool is to keep the dependency
tracking information for your ports up to date. This allows you to
safely update a specific port without having to update all of the ports
"above" it."
That would make the default action equivalent to portupgrade's -r
option ("rebuild this port and all those that depend on it").
What have I missed?
