workaround

Porter's Handbook, Example 5.3. Use of USE_GITHUB with DISTVERSIONPREFIX
describes how to use them together with no mention "v" is the only value that
actually works. For one, I've tried to convert games/openra to such style

 PORTVERSION=   20141029
+DISTVERSIONPREFIX=release-
...
-GH_TAGNAME=    release-${PORTVERSION}
-GH_COMMIT=     e5948ba

which appears to produce correct GH_TAGNAME and distinfo but the build fails
with

 ===>  Applying FreeBSD patches for openra-20141029_2
 patch: **** can't cd to
/home/holo/.cache/a/overlay/ports/games/openra/work/OpenRA-20141029: No such
file or directory

because WRKSRC doesn't take into account DISTVERSIONPREFIX

 $ make -V WRKSRC:T
 OpenRA-20141029

 $ make -V DISTNAME
 OpenRA-OpenRA-release-20141029_GH0

 $ ls $(make -V WRKDIR)
 OpenRA-release-20141029
