Svn mirror seed has UUID wrong

Hey,

If you don't have a local doc or ports svn mirror you can stop reading now.

When creating the doc and ports svn mirrors, which the seeds on http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/development/subversion/ are created from, I forgot to set the repository UUID to the same as the one on the master repositories. This may e.g. cause problems for people using a mirror and switching to directly access svn.freebsd.org later.

To fix this I have created new seeds for doc and ports. If you have a local mirror you can either download the new seed files and use that, or just change the uuid on your mirror using svnadmin.

[doc]
Master repo UUID: c2e8774f-c49f-e111-b436-862b2bbc8956
Fixed seed tar: http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/development/subversion/svnmirror-doc-r39237.tar.xz
Command to fix a mirror: svnadmin setuuid /home/svn/doc c2e8774f-c49f-e111-b436-862b2bbc8956

[ports]
Master repo UUID: 35697150-7ecd-e111-bb59-0022644237b5
Fixed seed tar:  http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/development/subversion/svnmirror-ports-r301235.tar.xz
Command to fix a mirror: svnadmin setuuid /home/svn/ports 35697150-7ecd-e111-bb59-0022644237b5

Thanks to John Marshall for reporting the issue.

PS. no, the base seed does not have this problem.
