I recently committed the update from git-core 1.4.4.1 to 1.4.4.4. My  
comments:

- The dependency on rcs has already existed in the portfile since the  
git 0.99.9b update was committed on 2005-11-05 in revision 14969; I  
did not just add it.
- The git-core port built just fine for me.
- The git-core port does not depend on a *port* rcs, but on there  
existing a *binary* named rcs. On my system, rcs exists as /usr/bin/rcs

Are you experiencing difficulties building git-core? If so, please  
show us the error messages you get, and see whether you have a /usr/ 
bin/rcs on your system.
