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.
