Oh. I was under the impression the problem was with the portindex step, because
the way things are currently done you replace every file so each time you do it
the whole port tree has to be reindexed. But then as I don’t use this method, I
prefer a git clone, I have never seen this, so it would perhaps be good if
someone could confirm exactly what step in port sync/selfupdate is causing the
problem here.
