 Subversion can be used as well to fetch an older port, and is simpler for one that has a files/ subdirectory.
 
-=== Step 1: '''Finding the right revision''' ===
-Follow Step 1 earlier to find the right revision for the port you need, eg, 30810.
+=== Step 1: '''Install Subversion''' ===
 
-=== Step 2: '''Checking out the port''' ===
-Check out the revision you found for the port, you'll need that revision number and the category/portname path to the port (lang/tcl for tcl).  Then you use svn to check out the port at that revision:
+Install Subversion:
+{{{
+sudo port install subversion
+}}}
+This step is optional for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and later, which already include a Subversion client, but you may want to install it from MacPorts anyway because its version is likely newer than the one included with your operating system.

+=== Step 2: '''Finding the right revision''' ===
+Follow Step 1 earlier to find the right revision for the port you need, e.g. r30810.
+
+=== Step 3: '''Checking out the port''' ===
+Using the revision number, port category and port name, check out the port directory at that revision using the `svn` command:
 {{{
 svn co -r 30810 http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/trunk/dports/lang/tcl
 }}}
-This creates a tcl directory in your current location, and populates that with everything the port should need to build.  Replace the 30810 and lang/tcl with the correct revision and category/portname for your interested port.
