I corrected your log message in the repository.

I'm a little concerned that I was allowed to do this. Is every  
committer really allowed to change any other committer's log  
messages? At the very least, an email should be sent to the changes  
list when revision properties are altered. Unfortunately, I cannot  
find any indication that svnnotify will do this. Other notification  
scripts, like commit-email.pl, will.

Looks like ten ports are affected:

$ grep '{workdir}' */*/Portfile | cut -d ':' -f 1 | uniq
