MacPorts 2.8.0-beta1 now available for testing

[Joshua Root]

I can't repro this. The VCS sync logic hasn't changed since the 
privilege dropping fix in April. The only thing I can think of that 
might have made a difference is the update to Tcl 8.6 and the associated 
update of all the try/catch blocks.

All that should be happening between running git and running portindex 
is the environment restore in VCSCleanup. You might have to do some more 
digging to figure out a repro recipe I'm afraid.
