when i install git core after uninstalling git-core , git-core +no_svn I recieve this error message

This problem was fixed in r34462 on 2008-02-25. That means your port definitions are out of date. "sudo port selfupdate" to get the latest MacPorts and port definitions. Then "sudo port uninstall git-core @1.5.3.7_0+doc" and "sudo port install git-core", which will this time get you the current version which is 1.5.4.4.
thanks, sorry it didn't occur to me to do that but im use to the debian modle which requires network access to check the repo everytime you install (so this one is superior)
spoke too soon .. MacPorts base version 1.600 installed
Downloaded MacPorts base version 1.600
The MacPorts installation is not outdated and so was not updated selfupdate done!
That is correct. MacPorts base was not outdated, therefore MacPorts base was not updated. However, your port definitions were outdated, and they were updated, even if it didn't say so. Now try installing git-core again.
