Add an UPDATING entry which suggests workarounds for default
portupgrade running 'make index' every time cvsup nuked INDEX from ${PORTSDIR}. Anybody feel free to add smarter suggestions.

+ AUTHOR: lofi@FreeBSD.org
+
+ Due to the recent removal of INDEX and INDEX-5 from FreeBSD's CVS,
+ portupgrade with default configuration will run 'make index' if started
+ after cvsup'ing the ports-collection. This may take an undesirably long
+ time.
+
+ There are several ways to work around this, for example:
+
+ - Run 'make fetchindex' after cvsup'ing ports.
+
+ or
+
+ - Adjust the PORTS_INDEX variable in your environment or in
+ pkgtools.conf (see portupgrade(1) or the default pkgtools.conf) to
+ a different value than the default.
