 === Step 3: '''Configure Subversion''' ===
 
 First, tell subversion to use your proxy to connect to the server:
-1. If $prefix/var/macports/home/.subversion/servers doesn't exist, create it by copying the corresponding file from another user.  (SVN automatically creates this file if it doesn't exist.)
+1. If the $prefix/var/macports/home/.subversion/servers file doesn't exist, create it by copying the corresponding ~/.subversion/servers file from another user to that location.  (SVN automatically creates this file if it doesn't exist, so you probably already have one.)
 2. Edit the file and set a proxy for hosts at `*.macports.org`.  Different proxy configurations require different sets of options here, but the file is pretty well commented, so it should be easy to figure out what you need.  At a minimum you'll need settings for http-proxy-host and http-proxy-port.

 3. SVN will store the certificate in a file in the directory `$HOME/.subversion/auth/svn.ssl.server`.  In that directory, find the file that contains the string "`https://svn.macports.org`" and copy it into `$prefix/var/macports/home/.subversion/auth/svn.ssl.server`.
 
-Or, you can use SVN over HTTP, in which case you don't need to worry about the certificate.
