FYI: Rather than re-add the file, you should have copied check_nt.c from a prior revision in which it still existed, like this:
svn mkdir files svn cp -r 30824 http://svn.macosforge.org/repository/macports/trunk/ dports/net/nagios-plugins/files/check_nt.c files
By not doing this you have disconnected the file from its history ("svn log" makes it look like the file just came into existence in r30867, which it didn't), and taken up (an admittedly small amount of) additional space in the repository (Subversion had to store the entire contents of the file in the repository again (albeit compressed) instead of being able to store just a reference to the file that was already there), and undone r21491 (which set a property on that file which you did not set when you re-added the file).
Yes, you're right. I forgot about that. We should have a subversion FAQ somewhere and list useful commands like that. Mark
