From https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/makefile-distfiles.html#makefile-master_sites-github-multiple :

	When fetching multiple files from GitHub, sometimes the default
	distribution file is not fetched from GitHub. To disable
	fetching the default distribution, set:

	USE_GITHUB=	nodefault

If you set USE_GITHUB=yes it means the software you are porting has no
distribution file and only a github repository from which you can get a
git-archive extract.  If the software actually does release distribution
files, but for some reason, you need to fetch something from github, you
use USE_GITHUB=nodefault.
