Jacksons-MacBook-Pro:~ JacksonIsaac$  svn info
/opt/local/var/macports/sources/svn.macports.org/trunk/dports/
svn: E155007: '/opt/local/var/macports/sources/svn.macports.org/trunk/dports'
is not a working copy

Jacksons-MacBook-Pro:~ JacksonIsaac$ ls -l
/opt/local/var/macports/sources/svn.macports.org/trunk/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x  5 root  admin  170 Mar 10 20:10 dports

I had used 'sudo svn co
https://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/trunk/dports/' to clone
the directory as permission was denied to normal user.
