When you create a new port that differs very minimally from an existing port, such as especially when creating a port of a python module that already has a port for a different version of python, it's best to "svn cp" the existing port and make changes, rather than committing the port to the repository as if it were a completely new file, as you did here. Using "svn cp" will preserve the history, making commands like "svn blame" and "svn log" work for this port and be useful. This will also preserve any Subversion properties that were on the file, for example the svn:keywords and svn:eol-style keywords we want all portfiles to carry. You should also set up auto-props in your Subversion config file to automatically add those properties to new portfiles. See the guide for more info.
