Hi,
I like pkg install git-tiny or git-lite sooooo much more. If I install git I
don't see why I need to install subversion as a dependency. And 50+ other
direct or indirect dependencies.
But gitup also helps for port users.
Regards,
Ronald.

If you actually need a repository, and not just the latest files, all
you need is run pkg install git on the machines you are actually using a
ports tree on, if you have more than one machine, you should probably be
using binary packages anyway, either the ones provided by FreeBSD, or
ones built yourself using ports-mgmt/poudriere. If you only need the
latest files, you can probably use something like net/gitup.
