[snip]

It would be better in these cases to

$ cd dports/python
$ svn cp py-checker py25-checker
$ cd py25-checker

and then edit Portfile and commit. This way the history is preserved  
in the repository (someone looking at "svn log" sees the history of  
py-checker, someone using "svn blame" sees why the lines were  
originally added in py-checker), and also only a diff against py- 
checker needs to be stored (and not the complete portfile and  
patchfiles again).
