Well, it won't do "nothing"... it will scan the local ports working copy and compare it with what's available on the server. The end result is that no files will be changed and nothing significant will have to be downloaded, but it will still take up to several minutes of disk I/O to determine that, depending on the speed of your disk. Using Subversion 1.7 or later should decrease the amount of I/O needed and thus decrease the time needed. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
