To me this comment does not describe the situation correctly (the  
document says, how it should be, not how it is). I use normally 'sudo  
port selfupdate' or 'sudo port sync', the result is that the  
subversion working copy owned by me will be tainted by files owned  
not by me, thereby preventing me updating. I am happy, if I really am  
wrong!
PS This is easy to fix (use chown before svn up), an annoyance  
nevertheless!
