Thanks for the pointer! Yes, that's it... The port uses a separate
variable (GITVERSION) instead of just calling it DISTVERSION -- no
doubt, to appease portlint, which complains, when DISTVERSION and
PORTVERSION are specified at the same time. This work-around
necessitates two extra lines in the Makefile without being otherwise
useful...
I think, I'll just call the hash "DISTVERSION" and also explicitly set
the PORTVERSION -- to 0.20120726. (The 0.-prefix may help in the future,
when the upstream finally release version 1.0 :-)

Yes, that works, thank you!
