What is it useful for (specifically within the ports tree) that fetching
specific commit hash won't provide?  Cloning the repo implies that one's
intended to work on it and thus needs all the history.  For an arbitrary
port that one wants to build it's an overkill.  Also, how feasible is to
cache cloned repo (like we cache normal distfiles now)?
