Incrementing the revision (a one-character change) in the shell-fm portfile
resulted in automatic, unwanted changes to lines in the description.
I fixed the description before committing the change which incremented the
port's revision.
The smart quote characters display as gibberish in Terminal.app when
running 'port info shell-fm'.
What makes smart quotes characters better than dumb apostrophes and
quotation marks?
