I see. So, I'll create new one instead of slave.

Hello,
I want to add to existing port another one for the same program, but with
different git branch and (possibly) with slightly different dependencies.
Is this a good case for slave port ?
Slave ports are not documented in porter handbook and I'm not sure how
they work and when used.
Thanks.
A slave port is a minor modification of the port to support different
functions. E.g. security/ssh-guard has slightly different builds, all from
a common source. One for each of the commonly used firewalls; ipfw, pf,
null.
If the sources are different, a slave is not appropriate. Examples are the
various versions of postfix and clang.
