This was fixed, but note that pre-commit checks wouldn't have helped:
the change was made in one file (bsd.ruby.mk) but the effects felt in
others.  In order to catch it we'd have to iterate over the entire
ports tree, which would delay each commit by a few tens of minutes, or
a few hours depending on machine load :)
