	Hi Anton,

	Ok, in that case, I would try the following, assuming your repository
	root is still svn://svn.freebsd.org/ports:

	cd /usr/ports
	svn relocate svn://svn0.us-east.freebsd.org/ports/
	svn switch svn://svn0.us-east.freebsd.org/ports/head/

I was already on head,
so just

svn relocate svn://svn0.us-east.freebsd.org/ports/head

was sufficient.

I think I got the idea now for when to use
switch and when relocate.

Many thanks

Anton
