All good points, thanks. I was not aware of the user svn facility until a few days ago. I've been working on various things for several months, in a local repository. I didn't want to lose any of those files, so they were all added to my user svn yesterday. Many of those local repo files, like the qt4-mac and postgresql ports, are certainly outdated.
I figured that's probably how this came about. And there wouldn't have been an automated way to have it now retroactively figure out what revisions of each port you had based your changes on and make "svn cp"ies of them correctly now. It would have been an involved manual process.
I've had a nagging thought in the back of my mind about merging changes into the macports-trunk, so I do need education on how to do that from my user svn. Is this stuff covered in the developers section of the wiki? I don't recall reading it before. I was working on the basis of the local repository information at:
I don't think that's covered. How to use Subversion for merging changes is best learned by reading the Subversion book:
