Ah, I assumed you were going to submit them to MacPorts. Otherwise, you can certainly clear ${git.branch},  which will make MacPorts fetch a shallow commit history and check out the remote's HEAD.

I still think using a local repo is better, as it's faster and easier to work into a development workflow. For instance, you don't have to create MacPorts-specific patches for local commits that haven't been pushed to the remote yet.
