Hi,

While optional please define USES= compiler accordingly to requirements 
of the port
https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/porters-handbook/book/#uses-compiler
https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/Mk/Uses/compiler.mk

It should not call git during build to determine version and version is 
as in the previous port incorrectly determined.

Captain's Log (caps-log)! A CLI journalig tool.
Version: commit-NOT_FOUND

LICENSE_FILE definition is missing in port Makefile
https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/porters-handbook/book/#licenses-license

OpenSSL should not be statically linked, this also seems to be the case 
with libgit2

GH_TAGNAME should not use a full hash
https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/porters-handbook/book/#makefile-master_sites-github

Best regards
Daniel
