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.
ok, I'll give it a go
Thanks
Anton
