Obviously, this will break the ports that currently override svn.method.


$ find . -name Portfile|xargs grep -E '^[[:space:]]*svn\.((pre_|post_)?args|method)(-append|-delete|-replace)?'
./games/PCLauncher/Portfile:svn.method                  checkout
./graphics/netpbm/Portfile:svn.method          checkout
./graphics/netpbm/Portfile:svn.post_args-append \
./graphics/netpbm/Portfile:    svn.args-replace    ${svn.method} update
./graphics/netpbm/Portfile:    svn.args-replace    ${svn.url} -r${svn.revision}

netpbm is the most complicated one, tweaking the arguments and commands in order to first check out a sparse working copy and then to update only the two directories we want. I do intend to switch netpbm over to downloading from a GitHub mirror instead, which will leave only a few much simpler cases to deal with, but I'll be sad to see the flexibility of fetching from svn in MacPorts reduced.
