portsnap and the imminent demise of svn->cvs ports tree export

[John Marshall]

We are on notice that the current ports tree will be soon no longer
available via CVSup and friends.  General consumers of the FreeBSD ports
tree are being encouraged to switch to portsnap.

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports-announce/2013-January/000049.html

The presence of the file LASTCOMMIT.txt, and the content of the
$FreeBSD$ lines, in a portsnap-generated ports tree indicate that
portsnap sources its data from a CVS export of the tree.  Are there
plans to migrate the portsnap source to the subversion tree before the
end of February?
