 Replying to [comment:4 ryandesign]:
 > There are no source code release tarballs there.
 "grpc_objective_c_plugin-1.42.0-macos-x86_64.zip" is a precompiled binary
 which we do not use. If you are referring to the two links "Source code
 (zip)" and "Source code (tar.gz)", those are automatically generated
 tarballs, which never contain git submodules. This project uses and
 requires the presence of submodules. This is one of the primary reasons
 why a port might fetch from git.

 Well ok, so if the port absolutely ''needs'' the submodules, aren't there
 at least some flags that could be passed to git to make the fetching go
 quicker? Like, I seem to remember that fetching the entire history of a
 git repository can take awhile, and that there's a flag to skip that...
