Implies -R (remote repo, not /usr/ports) when using -r reponame. none

Description elofu17 2015-03-25 13:59:04 UTC 
Could you please describe/explain better how -r and -R work?

Specifically, what happen if you run 'pkg version -r foobar' without any -R ?


Perhaps 'pkg version' should bail with an error message if you use the -r option without also adding the -R option?

Implies -R (remote repo, not /usr/ports) when using -r reponame.

If '-r foobar' cannot be used without '-R' then what about making -r imply -R automatically?  I have attached a patch that does this, and updates the man page accordingly.
