Thanks, I see, for people not using GIT, this is simpler at first. But
if I'm not mistaken, shar will only work for initially adding a new
port? So, once you actually start *maintaining* it, you'll have to come
up with a patch anyways. You'd probably try to create one with diff,
become frustrated quickly, and finally just install git to avoid the
madness…

But please correct me if I'm wrong :)

BR, Felix
