I realize that there are quite a few ports actually using git sources to build their stuff.

If I do extract  e.g. SSHKeychain's sources 
---
$ sudo port extract SSHKeychain 

$ cd /opt/macports-test/var/macports/build/_opt_macports-test_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_aqua_SSHKeychain/SSHKeychain/work/SSHKeychain-0.8.2

$ sudo git log -l1

    deal with ssh keys which have linefeed characters.

In its port file one can see that it's very similar to what I've shown in my initial post to this thread:
---
fetch.type          git
git.url             git://sshkeychain.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/sshkeychain/sshkeychain
git.branch          3ea5174056396a4edc717c193a57720b9c69a1e5
---
A specific changeset is defined by git.branch and that should be fine, but as initially posted a "git log" command is bound to fail in case of kmymoney and I still don't understand whether this is caused by the kmymoney git repo from which the macports infrastructure clones, or whether it is due to macports itself…
