Dunno about anyone else, but from my standpoint it would be a _big_
improvement to provide a more recent snapshot than the 6-month-old
pkg_add_it-1.2.tar.gz on ftp.freebsd.org so one doesn't have to
install git, with its boatload of dependencies*, to see the recent
improvements.
* The amount of stuff downloaded by
cd /usr/ports/devel/git ; make fetch-recursive
is, shall we say, impressive.
