I asked for @1.52.0, a perfectly reasonable thing to do, but port instead
installs 1.53.0.
This is wrong.
Port should install the version I asked for, or if it can't or won't, then
it should complain and exit nonzero. Until such time as port would be so
kind as to actually install an asked-for old version, it could help by
printing out the svn command I would need to use to get the old version,
or better yet, a shell command that gets it and puts it in the right
place.
