Yes, it is now branched, and he was probably using the equivalent of: http://svnweb.FreeBSD.org/ports/branches/RELENG_9_1_0/ rather than http://svnweb.FreeBSD.org/ports/head/ By the way, Anton, you may wish to use https:// rather than svn:// -- slightly less efficient, but more secure. yes, got it, cool! root@zzz:/root # svn info /usr/ports/ Path: /usr/ports Working Copy Root Path: /usr/ports URL: https://svn0.us-east.freebsd.org/ports/head Repository Root: https://svn0.us-east.freebsd.org/ports Repository UUID: 35697150-7ecd-e111-bb59-0022644237b5 Revision: 311950 Node Kind: directory Schedule: normal Last Changed Author: eadler Last Changed Rev: 311950 Last Changed Date: 2013-02-08 19:18:40 +0000 (Fri, 08 Feb 2013) root@zzz:/root # Does svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/head support https too?
