Comment (by nils@…):

 The information about the git command being run is also in the issue and
 and the log I attached to this issue. I don't see anything about
 environment variables though:

 When I run the command myself that MacPorts says it ran (using `sudo`, of
 course), then there is no problem and the git clone works just fine:

 {{{
 $ sudo /usr/bin/git clone -q https://github.com/ansible/ansible.git

 Apparently there is something different when this command is executed by
 MacPorts on my computer. I also tried this on my work computer and there
 it works fine. Any idea what I could check for next?
