portmaster argument question

[Tsu-Fan Cheng]

Hi all,
   now I am taking a step back, instead of letting portmaster decides
which to upgrade, I use the option "-i" to interactively update the
ports. and I found out that "-uBdir" is different from "-u -B -d -i
-r", the latter one is the right way. I dont know how to use "-R"
option, since I have tried "-R -r" but portmaster still upgrade every
single port, With "-i" option, portmaster still re-upgrade gettext,
but at least it's moving to new ports that have not been upgraded.
this is just my two cents... thanks!
