So, can I change 

#portsnap fetch update 

with 

with this sh script?

#!/bin/sh
git clone --depth 1 --single branch git://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports ports

Or will be it more complicated and prone to error?

What happens with the /usr/ports/distfile content? Is it erased everytime I clone the ports repository?

For now, portsnap never fired my feet but git...
