     As I wrote before, I took David Wolfskill's suggestion when the
method on the web page you suggested made no difference.  I backed up
/usr/ports (and I still have the backup), unmounted it, newfs'ed the
partition, remounted it, and then ran the svn checkout.  I dislike
doing that very often because of the time it takes and the nuisance
of having to save and restore a few things, but it does usually cause
many sins to be forgotten. :->

     Yes, I did still get the error.  The procedure did not appear to
have had any effect whatsoever, which is why I proceeded with the other
method (see above and in previous followup).

     I'd rather not do that now that the problem has been dealt with.
To do what you ask, I would have to blow away the newly checked out
/usr/ports and restore the old one from the backup.  Sorry about that. :-)
