svn: E175002: REPORT of '/ports/!svn/me': Could not send request: Operation not permitted (http://svn.freebsd.org)

[O. Hartmann]

I receive since two days on my FreeBSD 10 boxes this message when
updating the /usr/ports tree. What is this supposed to mean?

The error is occuring from the university's net as well as from my
private provider, so I think it is something more sophisticated than
simply network issues ...

[/usr/ports]: make update

*** [update] Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports.
