As of this writing, b7d1ffb8f542 is the most recent commit shown in the
archives of dev-commits-ports (at
https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/dev-commits-ports-main/2026-May/date.html).

There is no entry in the above-cited archives for a commit that would
match that hash.

My last local update for ports was at main-n746034-8c7b79314654
("archivers/p5-Archive-Tar: update to 3.06"); my local private mirror,
when asked about e5a98d716225916ee8024ebf9d1ad2b6e8c58ced, does not
whine ("fatal: bad object ..."), as it does for a hash that does not
correspond to a commit... but it also declines to say anything at all
about it (using "git log" or "git show"):

g1-120(15.1-S)[12] dirs
/usr/ports
g1-120(15.1-S)[13] git show -n 1 e5a98d716225916ee8024ebf9d1ad2b6e8c58ced | hd
g1-120(15.1-S)[14] git log -n 1 e5a98d716225916ee8024ebf9d1ad2b6e8c58ced | hd
g1-120(15.1-S)[15] echo $?
0

Peace,
