Unable to update ports using svnlite

[Clinton Bessesen]

Hi Fonz,
Thanks for your advise. Yup, I'm myself in Europe, after trying many 
different things, it seems to have been a DNS issue. Used your 
suggestion "svn0.eu.freebsd.org" and all back to normal.
Might have to get our DNS server cache refreshed!!!
Many thanks for your help!
Cheers
Clinton
