New description:

 Future: "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think
 it means."

 From [browser:trunk/base/src/port1.0/portutil.tcl]:

 {{{
 if {[file mtime ${portpath}/Portfile] >= [clock seconds]} {
     return -code error "Portfile is from the future - check date and time
 of your system"
 }
 }}}

 I'm pretty sure "future" means mtime > now, not >=.  I'm syncing a
 Portfile from an RCS and building it in a script, and apparently my
 computer is too fast, cause it's getting this error about the future.

 Yes, a `sleep 1` works, but c'mon!  :-)
