git-tiny or git-lite - Re: No update for a day on ports?

[Ronald Klop]

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.
