Close universal-ctags#1512 This is base on the pull request submitted by @derekschrock as universal-ctags#1512. Quoted from the discussion at universal-ctags#1512: No, you can download tarballs of a given commit via github from a direct URL. FreeBSD's port infrastructure doesn't use git to download github (or gitlab) repos. They're direct URLs so normal checksum validation can still occur. Versioning can be a little odd sometimes with non-tagged releases (rolling release) but once you wrap your head around the idea it's pretty sane. For example: https://codeload.github.com/universal-ctags/ctags/tar.gz/5567535e Can be used to download universal-ctags/ctags commit 5567535. So git is not required inside a basic FreeBSD build environment to pull in upstream files for github sources. Just an http[s] client and checksum validation. This change may help people building u-ctags from a tar ball taken from https://codeload.github.com/universal-ctags/ctags/tar.gz/.
