I figured that's probably how this came about. And there wouldn't  
have been an automated way to have it now retroactively figure out  
what revisions of each port you had based your changes on and make  
"svn cp"ies of them correctly now. It would have been an involved  
manual process.

I don't think that's covered. How to use Subversion for merging  
changes is best learned by reading the Subversion book:
