I just switched to 'svn'-ports on an existing system.

The question: When I install the base system on a new machine, where
do I get 'svn' for the first ports tree fetch?  'svn' is not becoming
a part of 'base', right?

I know I can copy it from one of my existing systems but what's the
official vision for this first step?  portsnap?

Also, with 'csup' I could exclude a large part of the ports tree from
updates with my 'csup.conf file, e.g.:

  # ports-vietnamese

I assume this is no longer possible, right?
