Github problems

I'm working on a new port, and I'm having problems with Github.
The url to the tarball is:
<https://github.com/Snorby/snorby/archive/master.tar.gz>
This is what I have in the Makefile:
# $FreeBSD$
PORTNAME= snorby
PORTVERSION= 2.5.3
CATEGORIES= security
MAINTAINER= pauls at utdallas.edu
COMMENT= Frontend for snort
USE_GITHUB= yes
GH_ACCOUNT= Snorby
GH_PROJECT= ${PORTNAME}
GH_TAGNAME= master
#GH_COMMIT= master
When I run make makesum I get this:
=> snorby-2.5.3.tar.gz doesn't seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles/.
=> Attempting to fetch
https://nodeload.github.com/Snorby/snorby/tarball/master?dummy=/snorby-2.5.3.tar.gz
Obviously that fails. I looked through /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.sites.mk, but I
don't see any way to override the part after dummy=. I tried making
GH_COMMIT= master, but that did nothing.
What's the correct solution to this? There doesn't seem to be anything in
the Porters Handbook about github.
