Comment (by ryandesign@…):

 Could the weechat-devel subport use the github portgroup, and fetch from a
 distfile instead of getting the files from the git repository? If so, that
 would be preferable. Consult the comments in the github portgroup file for
 more information.

 I do not think we would want to add a weechat-git subport. We want ports
 to build reproducibly -- the same every time; the weechat-git subport's
 purpose seems to be to circumvent that by letting it use whatever version
 happens to be current at the time the install command is run.
