Yeah, sorry about that. I typically test new rulesets on my own machine 
and compare the results first, somehow I only did this for src when I 
did the history for the `access` file and for ports it lives not under 
svnadmin but under head/CVSROOT and I somehow didn't test that, wanting 
to get the change out and over with.

With the right git incantation you should be able to rebase your work on 
the new upstream master just fine.

Sorry for the inconvenience,
Uli
