The trouble with ports is the tree is getting awfully big. The host in question has a 32 GB disk and is over half full with just a base source installation. Adding a "dormant" ports tree will take nearly 2 GB, most of which is not used. Might there be some way to clone a "sparse tree" including only one port, which then leafs out just enough to build that port and dependencies? When the ports system was introduced it seemed a marvel of compactness and efficiency.

That's why I want to test git on this particular machine. Git seems to work fine on the Pi3. Thanks for replying! bob prohaska
