Set an empty DISTFILES and define a do-extract target that copies
(downloads, checks out, ...) the source tree.
For trying devel/got -current between releases, I add this to the
port Makefile:
------------------->
--- devel/got/Makefile
+++ devel/got/Makefile
@@ -13,6 +13,13 @@ USES= uidfix
CONFLICTS_INSTALL= p5-App-GitGot
+DISTFILES=
+do-extract:
+ @cd ${WRKDIR} && got checkout /home/naddy/got.git ${WRKSRC}
+ @cd ${WRKSRC} && got ref -d `got info | \
+ awk '/work tree UUID:/ { print "refs/got/worktree/base-" $$NF }'`
+ @sed -i '' 's/GOT_RELEASE=No/GOT_RELEASE=Yes/' ${WRKSRC}/got-version.mk
+
# Insert #include "openbsd-compat.h" into each source file,
# after the <...> includes and before the "..." ones.
n= ${.newline}
<-------------------
In fact, I have a branch "current", whose first commit is the above,
and where I accumulate other port changes as they become necessary.
Then, once there is a new Got release, I merge the changes into
"main".
If I were using git, I'd probably have some sort of
"git archive ... | tar xf -" invocation in do-extract.
