Hi,

Thank you again. I understand and appreciate your point of view, but I believe
that creating a new port, whatever its name would be, will only confuse users
as to which to install. The vast majority of users will simply do wither "pkg
install tig" or go into the ports tree 'devel/tig' and make. They won't spend
time understanding the differences between a "plain" version and a
"not-plain-version".

It is my view that users who are installing tig would probably already have git
 installed (and are looking around for a nice terminal based git repository
viewer) and not the other way around - i.e., installing tig just to get git,
therefore the current port which pulls in git is assuming too much.

The patch, as it is, solves the issue that people are experiencing. 

I appreciate your contribution and discussion on this matter, but I'm going to
leave the patch as it stands.
