 Understood.

 I believe I have a very good reason to do it.
 I regularly switch between pkgsrc branches:
 
 - -current for regular work on pkgsrc,
 - stable for pull-ups, and
 - frozen-or-soon-to-be-stable for tests (and building binaries ahead
   of upgrades)
 
 In practice this means one CVS tree with -current (everything goes in
 ~/opt/pkgsrc-current including packages and work directories, easy to
 reset and start from scratch if necessary or for tests) and one tree
 with Git (EdgeBSD) where I can switch between branches at will (to
 match /usr/pkg or work on eg ~/opt/pkgsrc-2022Q2 before the local
 system is up to date).

 :)

 I just tested your suggestion successfully on -current with
 lang/python{39,310}; I am going to commit it now.
 
 Thank you!
