All good points, thanks.  I was not aware of the user svn facility until a
few days ago.  I've been working on various things for several months, in a
local repository.  I didn't want to lose any of those files, so they were
all added to my user svn yesterday.  Many of those local repo files, like
the qt4-mac and postgresql ports, are certainly outdated.

I've had a nagging thought in the back of my mind about merging changes into
the macports-trunk, so I do need education on how to do that from my user
svn.  Is this stuff covered in the developers section of the wiki?  I don't
recall reading it before.  I was working on the basis of the local
repository information at:

I think it would help to have more information about this svn user facility
and how to use it at:
