--- Comment #5 from Felix Palmen <zirias@freebsd.org> ---
Looks interesting!

Please shorten the pkg install message a bit, according to this guideline:
https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/porters-handbook/book/#porting-message

I would assume most of the info should be in the README you mention, but this
isn't installed ... shouldn't it be installed with DOCS=ON?

Also, the port currently creates an empty directory /usr/local/appjail. Isn't
this pointless? Possibly a bug in the upstream install, as it's created that
way in the stagedir?

Finally a question: Can the software be used in a sane way without git? If so,
I'd suggest not to make this option a default. If I understand it correctly,
the user can always just install both git and debootstrap himself and appjail
can make use of it?
