Correct.

At the time I wrote the first implementation of "fetchindex" it was
supposed to be run at the time as "update". So the PORTSDIR has to be
writable (except I've overlooked something). If this hasn't changed,
there's no need for .CURDIR.

I don't think so, we just don't share the same implications.

Without changing the index target, I don't see a cleaner way.

I don't see where .CURDIR is supposed to change the behavior here. We're
talking about targets, and I've specified them the same at both places.
