Anyone interested in doing this might be interested in an earlier post I made 
<https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2015-January/263372.html> or <http://preview.tinyurl.com/p6tjto2> where I included 
a short script for automating this process derived from an earlier script 
posted by Reed A. Cartwright.

To use this script you will need the textproc/jq package. Since posting the 
script I noticed that, unlike portsnap, svnlite doesn't update INDEX but it's 
a trivial matter to add an extra line to run "make -C /usr/ports fetchindex".
