How to fix/patch hardcoded values

Hello I've just submited a new port net/gitup
<https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=252220> and I used a
simple workaround to help program find its config in /usr/local/etc instead
of (hardcoded) ./

--- gitup.c.orig 2020-12-27 21:16:22 UTC
+++ gitup.c
@@ -2030,7 +2030,7 @@ main(int argc, char **argv)
...
- const char         *configuration_file = "./gitup.conf";
+ const char         *configuration_file = "/usr/local/etc/gitup.conf";

Now I'm thinking that this might not be the best fix in case PREFIX is a
different one.

Could I have an opinion on this?

Thanks,

Nuno Teixeira
