I read the commit log, but the PORTREVISION reset is pureley cosmetic,
so keeping it until the next release does not cause any problems.

OTOH it makes automatic version auditing possible, which guarantees
that tools like portupgrade will work. It is hard to check whether a
port is just broken on a single platform or automatically read commit
logs. If you want to have a version number going backwards, you can
always bump PORTEPOCH. Do you think we need another mechanism/flag to
signal automatic testing systems that everything is well? The script
I'm running is at ports/Tools/scripts/chkversion.pl, feel free to send
patches.

Thanks for your feedback
