--- Comment #19 from David Harrigan <dharrigan@gmail.com> ---
Hi,

Thank you again. I understand and appreciate your point of view, but I beli=
eve
that creating a new port, whatever its name would be, will only confuse use=
rs
as to which to install. The vast majority of users will simply do wither "p=
kg
install tig" or go into the ports tree 'devel/tig' and make. They won't spe=
nd
time understanding the differences between a "plain" version and a
"not-plain-version".

It is my view that users who are installing tig would probably already have=
 git
 installed (and are looking around for a nice terminal based git repository
viewer) and not the other way around - i.e., installing tig just to get git,
therefore the current port which pulls in git is assuming too much.

The patch, as it is, solves the issue that people are experiencing.=20

I appreciate your contribution and discussion on this matter, but I'm going=
 to
leave the patch as it stands.
