Not a problem for me personally, I use git mirrors, just my 5 cents. Details below. Here the freebsd repo checked out by subversion port > svn info Path: .

You need to upgrade the working copy first.

You need to get a newer Subversion client. For more details, see http://subversion.apache.org/faq.html#working-copy-format-change
