How to prepare SVN structure and commit messages.

+This is a simple guide for developers, to allow a common tree structure and commit messages for every package stored into the main repository.
+
+First you need to checkout the current ports tree or at least the root directory:
+{{{
+svn checkout http://svn.netlabs.org/repos/ports
+}}}
+
+Here is the commit sequence for storing a new port (named xx here):
+
+{{{
+[ports] 
+        mkdir xx\vendor\current.
+        unpack sources into current.
+
+[ports] 
+        svn add xx
+        svn commit -m "xx: initial vendor import of xx 8.12."
+
+[ports\xx\vendor] 
+        svn copy current 8.12
+        svn commit -m "xx: tag current vendor version."
+
+[ports\xx] 
+        svn copy vendor/current trunk
+        svn commit -m "xx: import current vendor version into trunk."
+
+[ports\xx\trunk]
+        add os2 patches, new files, etc.
+        svn commit -m "xx: applied os2 patches, added new files, etc etc."
+
+}}}
+
+Once you have to upgrade then vendor tree to a newer version, first put it in ''current'' tree and tag the version release. Please take note of svn revision for tag operation.
+
+To merge changes into the trunk, supposed 318 is the latest revision, use
+
+{{{
+[ports\xx] 
+        svn merge vendor/8.12@318 vendor/8.13@318 trunk
+        svn commit -m "xx: update trunk to 8.13".
+}}}
