Comment (by michael.klein@…):

 I have two concerns regarding r92410:
 * it only works if {{{$portdir}}} is the repository root directory, so it
 doesn't even work for {{{git://git.macports.org/macports/trunk.git}}},
 where {{{$portdir}}} is in {{{dports}}}
 * it does a {{{git pull --rebase}}}. See http://git-
 scm.com/book/ch3-6.html#The-Perils-of-Rebasing how this can cause trouble.
 If one **really** wants to rebase, one can use {{{git config --local
 pull.rebase true}}} instead

 So, can we have {{{0001-Add-support-for-git-managed-portdirs.patch}}}
 applied instead, but without {{{git stash save/pop}}}? If there are no
 local modifications, {{{git stash save}}} doesn't seem to save anything,
 and the following {{{git stash pop}}} fails. IMO is't perfectly ok to have
 the user commit any modifications before syncing.
