When I changed to svn, I completely remove or moved (mv(1)) the /usr/ports tree. Created a new /usr/ports and then used svn to pull in the collection. The same for the base course tree in /usr/src. It's my understanding you need to do that first. You can't use a mixed file system tree comprising cvs/csup and svn files. I'm sure Some will correct that if i'm wrong, but that's what I did and i've experienced no problems with it. The only noticeable difference is when updating my ports collection with svn, it's slower to update than say portsnap or cvs/csup. But it's not a major issue for me.
