Comment (by mojca@…):

 OK, it could be a mandatory SHA sum and an optional tag (or maybe this
 needs a bit of rethinking). One thing that I would also like to see
 supported out of the box (but is otherwise completely independent and also
 outside of scope of this ticket) is creating a version string like
 `3.14-beta-20140314-{short_SHA}`. I mean: provided a full SHA string, I
 would like to be able to extract both date (just for "sorting" the
 increasing version) and a shortened version of the SHA sum.

 But keeping a copy on MacPorts mirrors is definitely a lower priority than
 getting this functionality to work in the first place.
