Ports should never build from tip of trunk or HEAD or similar concepts.....
These do.
But that's not reproducible, and I thought we always wanted that. If I install a specific version of a port today, I should get the same software if I install that same version of that port tomorrow. By fetching from HEAD, you break that assumption.
Not sure what the alternative would be, should I set up a cron job to commit a Portfile daily ?
I see for example that Markus commits a new version of gcc43 every week or so. I hope he tests it before committing, however.
