And you'd be right:

[root@set:/usr/ports/lang/ruby-usersguide] # fetch -b 
http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/lang/ruby-
usersguide/Makefile?rev=HEAD
Receiving Makefile: 0 Kbytes
580 bytes transferred in 0.0 seconds  (324.58 Kbytes/s)
[root@set:/usr/ports/lang/ruby-usersguide] # file Makefile 
Makefile: gzip compressed data, deflated, last modified: Fri Sep  8 
04:00:56 2000, max speed, os: Unix

Is this a bug? 

This is not an isolated incident.  FreshPorts has 27 other commits for 
which this has happened.

e.g.

[root@set:/usr/ports/x11-toolkits/ruby-qt] # file Makefile 
Makefile: gzip compressed data, deflated, last modified: Fri Sep  8 
04:01:16 2000, max speed, os: Unix

Thank you Ben for your hint.  Much appreciated.
