 As far as MacPorts is concerned, it is a bug in the port. Ports should
 fetch everything they need in the fetch phase, and ideally they should do
 so by downloading distfiles, since we can mirror those.

 Because of this bug, the port
 [https://build.macports.org/builders/ports-10.8_x86_64-builder/builds/57/steps
 /install-dependencies/logs/stdio cannot build on OS X 10.8] and earlier,
 because the `git` built into OS X 10.8 and earlier is too old to
 communicate with the GitHub servers' more advanced encryption needs.

 Please fix the bug. :)
