 * port:  git => git, libuuid


Comment:

 I see that on line 781 hfs_format.h does:
 {{{
 #include <uuid/uuid.h>
 }}}
 This is presumably intended to include Apple's uuid/uuid.h header.

 If you have the libuuid port installed, it installs a header
 /opt/local/include/uuid/uuid.h which will be used instead of Apple's
 header, causing this build failure.

 The workaround is:

 {{{
 sudo port clean git
 sudo port -f deactivate libuuid
 port -cuNsd upgrade git
 sudo port activate libuuid
 }}}

 For years I have wished that the libuuid and ossp-uuid ports would be
 installed in different paths so that they would not conflict with one
 another and so that they would not shadow system uuid functionality.
