Is there a work around I can use?
"Why" is: * because all fetch phases that fetch from a version control system do so via a single URL * I was not aware that you could fetch from multiple URLs in a single "svn checkout" command * many ports were abusing svn.url to include arbitrary commands; I wanted to put an end to that practice * changing this would probably make the desired feature of cacheability -- https://trac.macports.org/ticket/16373 -- difficult to implement, so I would not want to change this now. Why do you need to fetch from multiple URLs?
