 Subversion 1.5.

 overkill, though...
 Granted, it may not be ideal, but sticky versions are a little dangerous
 in and of themselves.[[BR]]
 Portfiles maintainers rely on the fact that they know exactly how the
 other ports are installed (at least if the user is fully upgraded).[[BR]]
 If you take that away with sticky versions, then maintenance becomes much
 harder.[[BR]]
 I would vote against such a change.

 I keep a local repository myself, so please let me know if you run into
 any problems.
