Hello, Ottavio.

What do you mean?  Do you mean how do you view the source tree from that
URL?  Answer: follow the "tree" link at the top.  I don't think we need
documentation for that.

I think joerg@ gave a good reason for that style in [1]:

  For documentation it is handy to have a "canonical" location, so that
  you can talk about /usr/pkgsrc/packages and not have to use the more
  verbose "packages subdirectory under your pkgsrc tree" etc.  That's
  about the only reason for why the documentation should talk about
  /usr/pkgsrc.

Also, right above those commands, it says, "Assuming you have a pkgsrc
checkout in /usr/pkgsrc, do the following."  I think that's reasonable.
