ISTM that SVN is not the default method for users; but portsnap is the
preferred method for users.

Developers, OTOH, may find SVN useful.

I have no idea if the OP is a user or a developer; but I do know that at
least a cursory reading of the Handbook is a good idea, since the OP
question seems to be directly addressed in the Handbook.
