 Thanks. gcc410 uses a date, clang-3.5 an svn rev number which like
 mercurial increases monotonically and I guess that's a requirement so
 actually the git hash won't do. I inspected a number of git-based
 portfiles, all seemed to fetch a specific commit or tag so I guess a
 4.00-HEAD portfile that builds whatever is the upstream head at the time a
 user installs the port, is not a good idea.

 I just rebuild from HEAD, I am updating my proposed portfile to that
 known-good commit hash.
