Comment (by nhoj.patrick@…):

 I've got 2 installations of git, I assume the native mac git from apple,
 plus also the one via mac ports.

 I've tried as my regular user and as root.

 All 4 combinations work, and successfully clone the repo which port
 "install" reports as failing.

 So I assume this is an issue with port specific code and how it's setup's
 the environment/shell prior to it's clone.
