In general terms you've told pkg to install foo, which depends on bar.
But you already have installed baz, which conflicts with bar.
'conflicts' usually boils down to 'tries to install files with the same
name' -- a lot of the time the things that conflict with each other are
different versions of the same package. In your case, I think it was
git and subversion fighting over expat (possibly).
As a rule of thumb:
* Make sure everything else is up to date before installing new
packages, particularly if what you want to install has a complex
dependency tree.
* If you use non-standard options for ports and especially if you're
modifying DEFAULT_VERSIONS then you have to ensure consistent
dependencies across all your packages. Which means you probably \
have to build a few more packages than you first thought.
Cheers,
Matthew
