I need an updated MinIO, but the Portfile is a direct GitHub fetch. How do I update it?

On the GitHub web site, there is not enough horizontal space to display the entire tag name, so it's cut off as "RELEASE.2020-0..." but you can hover over it to see the full tag in the URL. Below the truncated tag name, you'll see "a78e5d4". That's the truncated commit of that release's tag. We'd rather use full commits in MacPorts, not truncated ones; you can get the full commit by clicking on "a78e5d4" and now in the address bar and in the page you can see that the full commit is a78e5d4763dbb667540e6832c82bd3a9c4fc2118. That's what you paste into this port.

Distfiles don't get stored in the work directory; they go in /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles.

Completed phases don't get run again unless you clean the port.
