You are welcome.

I still advice to rethink this issue from perspective of ports user (who may
build them directly with default/customized options), because removal of
RUN_DEPENDS is in favor of users who prefer to use available packages only,
while may create new post-install (of devel/git variant) issue for both.

I guess, this maybe an issue of current packages system (if not override
dependencies manually).

The devel/tig-plain port contains following pkg-message (which shows after
install):
"Required to (post-)install devel/git* port as runtime dependency."
Also possible to change COMMENT and description in pkg-descr file, if needed.
