This is the subversion data point which FreshPorts uses to recognize a port is being deleted.

The above is good enough.  It's close.  But I'm not seeing that yet. What I have is:

<FILE Action="Rename" Path="net/kdav/Makefile" Destination="net/kf5-kdav/Makefile"/>

That's the XML extracted via https://github.com/FreshPorts/git_proc_commit/blob/master/git-to-freshports/git-to-freshports-xml.py

Yes, that matches up with what git is giving me (see https://github.com/FreshPorts/git_proc_commit/issues/23 <https://github.com/FreshPorts/git_proc_commit/issues/23>)

This makes me wonder: could it just be a matter of knobs/switches for extracting date in the right format.

The origins of FreshPorts relied upon help from a wide variety of people (https://www.freshports.org/authors.php <https://www.freshports.org/authors.php>)
and this rework will be no different. Thank you.
