Comment (by cooljeanius):

 Replying to [comment:3 mfeiri]:
 > I have no objections against such a port. But I also dont see the
 purpose. The reason for creating the bootstrap_cmds and developer_cmds
 ports was to facilitate building xnu-headers and friends. The tools
 provided by bootstrap_cmds and developer_cmds are not included in the base
 OS. I am not sure who/what would benefit from a port of file_cmds.

 I originally opened this bug as part of an effort to build an entirely
 self-hosting MacPorts some day, and, as MacPorts makes need of the `mtree`
 command, it'd need a port that provides an `mtree` command to become
 entirely self-hosting.
