Problem fetching with git in MacPorts

[Dave Allured - NOAA Affiliate]

Robert, it looks like you might be seeing this Let's Encrypt known problem:
https://trac.macports.org/wiki/ProblemHotlist#letsencrypt

If so, the best solution is not to replace /usr/bin/git, but to ask
Codeberg owners to remove the expired certificate as described in that
article.  Note the special instructions for Mac OS 10.13/10.14.
