 # pkg reposync/repomerge
 Currently there is a race easily obtain when you pkg install blah and the remote repository
 is synced.
 The idea of reposync/repomerge is to address this issue by having a command that takes two
 repository directories, one being the directory served by the webserver (named www below) and
 the other being the newly created repository (named new below) and does:
 * Open www/packagesite and rm all packages in www/All/ that aren't in it (this clean pkgs-1)
 * Copy all new/All/* to www/All/
 * Copy atomically meta.conf/meta.XXX/packagesite.XXX from new/ to www/
 This leaves the new/ directory with the new packagesite, the new pkgs and the
 pkgs-1 from the previous run.
