    6354=== Step 3: Configure Subversion ===
    6455
    65 First, tell subversion to use your proxy to connect to the server.  This
    66 should not be necessary if your initial SVN checkout was from the http
    67 or https URL's (and the checkout worked), so most people should not have
     56First, tell Subversion to use your proxy to connect to the server.  This
     57should not be necessary if your initial Subversion checkout worked, so most people should not have
    6858to do this.  If initial checkout failed, you will need this.  If you
    6959needed to configure your own ~/.subversion/servers file to be able to do
    … …  
    72621. If the /opt/local/var/macports/home/.subversion/servers file doesn't
    7363   exist, create it by copying the corresponding ~/.subversion/servers
    74    file from another user to that location.  (SVN automatically creates
     64   file from another user to that location.  (Subversion automatically creates
    7565   this file if it doesn't exist, so you probably already have one.)
    76661. Edit the file and set a proxy for hosts at `*.macports.org`.
    … …  
    8070   http-proxy-host and http-proxy-port.
    8171
    82 Finally, if you want to use SVN over HTTPS to access the repository
    83 (i.e. if your initial SVN checkout was the !https:// URL), you'll need to
    84 tell SVN to trust the MacPorts signature.  (SVN doesn't trust the
    85 authority that issued it, and `port sync` below invokes `svn up` with
    86 the `--non-interactive` flag, so you won't have the opportunity to
    87 accept the certificate then.)
     72Finally, if you're using the copy of `svn` that comes bundled with OS X 10.7 or later, you'll need to tell Subversion to trust the MacPorts signature.  (Apple's `svn` doesn't trust any SSL certificates, and `port sync` below invokes `svn up` with the `--non-interactive` flag, so you won't have the opportunity to accept the certificate then.)

    89741. `mkdir -p /opt/local/var/macports/home/.subversion/auth/svn.ssl.server`
    90751. As a normal user, run `svn ls https://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/trunk/dports/`.
    9176   When prompted, accept the certificate permanently.
    92 1. SVN will store the certificate in a file in the directory
     771. Subversion will store the certificate in a file in the directory
    9378   `$HOME/.subversion/auth/svn.ssl.server`.  In that directory, find the
    9479   file that contains the string "`https://svn.macports.org`" and copy
    9580   it into `/opt/local/var/macports/home/.subversion/auth/svn.ssl.server`.
    96 
    97 Or, you can use SVN over HTTP (i.e. your initial checkout was from the
    98 !http:// URL), in which case you don't need to worry about the
    99 certificate.
