#4 Incorrect SVN detection
Porttools check for .svn subdirectory in the port's dir to check whether SVN diff method should be used. With newer svn versions (1.7, 1.8) this check will fail, as there's only single .svn directory in the working directory root but not in the subdirectories. Probably svn info output should be checked instead.
With this bug, port submit produces patches with simple diff which contain RCS Id changes ($FreeBSD$) - with these, patch usually does not apply making life harder for committers, so this should be fixed pretty much as soon as possible.
