No. I just loooked at:

<http://people.freebsd.org/~vd/xaralx/wxgtk26_2.6.2-2.6.3.r2.diff>>

I'll have a look at the shar file.

Not my call, but I can see that keeping n copies of a source repository
that changes every three hours is going to eat disk space. There is a
recommended release every week or two, and probably keeping a copy of
that source file should be enough (if people want to run the bleeding
edge version AND a port, they can work out how to use svn :-) )
