-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
 The git-core @1.7.2.2_1 Portfile revision (Changeset 70965) added a
 dependency on python26.  This in turn adds many other unexpected
 dependencies that I did not already have on my OS X 10.6.4 MacBook.

 % port rdeps git-core
 <...other packages...>
   python26
     tk
       tcl
       Xft2
         xrender
           xorg-libX11
             xorg-util-macros
             xorg-xtrans
             xorg-bigreqsproto
             xorg-xcmiscproto
             xorg-xextproto
             xorg-xf86bigfontproto
             xorg-inputproto
             xorg-libXdmcp
               xorg-xproto
             xorg-libXau
             xorg-kbproto
           xorg-renderproto
         freetype
         fontconfig
       xorg-libXScrnSaver
         xorg-libXext
         xorg-scrnsaverproto
     sqlite3
       readline
     db46
     gdbm
     bzip2

 A few of these are very common dependencies on other ports such as db46,
 bzip2, and sqlite3, but the Xft2 and xorg trees seem excessive.   Is the
 Apple builtin Python2.6 (at least on Snow Leopard) not sufficient to avoid
 requiring all these extra graphics packages to be installed, just for git-
 core?
