Hum, ok, that's (almost) a good reason 0:-)
You really need to have a release to get a github tarball, all you need is
the hash of the commit you want to get. I have a lot of local ports coming
from github that have the date and time as PORTVERSION and only need the
hash of the commit, a bit like :

PORTNAME=       vim-puppet
PORTVERSION=    2013102117
...
USE_GITHUB=     yes
GH_ACCOUNT=     rodjek
GH_COMMIT=      4e78429
GH_TAGNAME=     ${GH_COMMIT}

But it's easier to get it all at once with a git checkout, I get it :-)
