Author: adamw Date: Wed Jan 23 22:33:53 2013 New Revision: 310906 URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/310906 Log: GitHub is such a nightmare for distfile fetching. I added a comment showing an easy way to fetch a distfile from GitHub. Using this method, you don't need to track the 7-digit commit at all. In fact, the distfile name and its contents behave like a normal, sane distfile would.
