	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.

yes, got it, cool!

Does svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/head
support https too?

Thanks
