Svn co svn+ssh: Do I need an account?

svn co $PATH_TO_PORTS /usr/ports

  1. I'm assuming that I will need to write down the SSL fingerprint. Yes, I won't have a working system to check it from the Internet for a few moments.
  2. The ports directory will have to be created before Subversion checkout, right?
I want to make sure that I'm doing things right is all.

Yes.

No, just compare it to what is shown in the mirrors section and then either accept it or reject it. If you accept it permanently, it will be stored.

No, svn will create it. If the directory is already present, make sure it's empty before the checkout.
 
Subversion is now a part of the base system and replaced cvs/csup or am I wrong?

I've mounted the ISO and see svnlite entries. The commands are the same, yes?

Not wrong, just a little too anxious, like me ;)

At the moment svn hasn't become part of the base system yet, but it has replaced /usr/bin/cvs functionality-wise. I pondered the same thing when building version 9.2: "Why do I have to compile CVS though I'll never be using it?" :)

My guess is that Subversion will eventually become part of the base system in a future release. But I also think that it might take a while before it fully replaces CVS there.
 
There's already svnlite(1) in the base in 10.0-BETA1 that should be functionally the same as the full SVN when used in client mode. Yes there's no CVS anymore in FreeBSD 10 allthough csup(1) seems to be still around.

Only the committers need an account at svn.freebsd.org so they can commit their work to the repository, others can use the repository or its mirrors in read-only mode without an account.
