I worked around the issue on Tiger now, so the --remote-time option
is now available there too - if wanted, it goes into portfetch.tcl

Me, I don't really care whether the distfiles mirror dumps all files
in one directory or not, but thought to mirror distfiles directory
was the easiest option and also most straight-forward to implement.
(works for http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/distfiles/ ?)

But if it's easier to implement and set up a distfiles mirror without
using remotetime and subdirectories, then by all means ignore  
either. :-)
