True and good in practice. However this brings up the question again of 
should we go to svn in ports? I recall discussing this at BSDCan 2009. 
Having performed the conversion of ports to svn just a month prior to that, 
I noticed the ports tree had grown to over 15 GB at the time. IIRC the CVS 
tree was just over 3 GB at that time. At present the repos are:

cwsys# zfs list -r dsk01/repos
NAME                 USED  AVAIL  REFER  MOUNTPOINT
dsk01/repos         11.0G  89.8G    22K  none
dsk01/repos/fcvs    5.71G  89.8G  2.63G  /opt/fcvs
dsk01/repos/fgnats  1.21G  89.8G   878M  /opt/fgnats
dsk01/repos/fsvn    4.04G  89.8G  3.38G  /opt/fsvn
cwsys# zfs get compressratio dsk01/repos
NAME         PROPERTY       VALUE  SOURCE
dsk01/repos  compressratio  1.73x  -
cwsys# df -h /opt/f*
Filesystem                     Size    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
dsk01/repos/fcvs                92G    2.6G     89G     3%    /opt/fcvs
dsk01/repos/fgnats              90G    877M     89G     1%    /opt/fgnats
dsk01/repos/fsvn                93G    3.4G     89G     4%    /opt/fsvn
cwsys# 

Space was a big factor.
