 Hi Larry,

 I want to provide users the possibility to get in-between releases of
 tmux, not one release per year. So maybe the subport is not a bad idea and
 I update it every month or so.

 Personally I do not use macports for development. I use it to install
 packages. But in case of tmux, these are mostly really old. This is not
 the fault of macports, but the developers who do not adhere to a standard
 release cycle.

 I have one off-topic macports development question: any chance you switch
 to git soon? (svn to git migration is not complicated and can be done
 rather quickly) this would also make it a lot easier to give people write
 access to certain projects and/or branches. gitolite is great for that.

 Opening a ticket, every time I update the git hash for the subport seems
 tedious. I'm listed as the maintainer for tmux, therefore I should have
 write access for this port. Or at least write access to a dev branch and
 you just merge it when you are ok with it.
