New description:

 In order to ensure that a user always gets the same code for a port that
 checks out from Subversion, MacPorts uses an operative revision (`svn co
 URL -r REV`). This is insufficient in the case where the directory being
 fetched from is renamed or deleted later. MacPorts should use a peg
 revision instead (`svn co URL at REV`).
