So what?
It's an unmaintained port that was 2 days from getting deleted.
I've never seen a rule to minimum blame line changes (meaning a rule
that says keep working bad style / alignment / mispellings to avoid a
line in diff)

I think partially reverting this is a bigger crime.

When I work on a port, I work on the port in the entirety, not just the
problem that I started to fixed, so I have a philosophical problem with
this reversion.

I am 100% in agreement if this was a maintained port getting changed
under a blanket, but an unmaintained port gets no protection IMO.

I'd actually like you not to do this again.  I care nothing about
clobbering diffs on unmaintained ports, and reverting just made svn
blame on this port that much more obtuse, ironically.
