Every morning it runs through every port and performs "port mirror".   
So regardless of commits or changes to the port, it will try to mirror  
whats currently listed in the portfile. This allows for failed  
transfers to be retried. It records a timestamp when it finishes each  
day:

I use the -d flag for mirror and record the output for debugging, but  
its a lot of spam. But if you really want it, I can maybe clean it up  
a little or make a summary report.
