What exactly is negative impact of using, for example, tag=RELEASE_5_2_0 for getting ports collection which came with 5.2-RELEASE via CVSup? Yes, I understand that I won't get fixes and improvements which came after ports tree freeze and creation of RELEASE_5_2_0 tag. I don't need them. What else should I be aware of? I've made it several times, then compared CVSupped ports tree against fresh one which came with 5.2-RELEASE - they are the same.

But if you want the snap-shot of 5.2R's ports why cvsup ? The cvsup will get you nothing.> Yes, I understand that I won't get fixes and improvements which > came after ports tree freeze and creation of RELEASE_5_2_0 tag. I don't > need them.
