The good people at github did some sort of reorganization which changed the advertised URLs, but the old ones still redirect. I wasn't sure if we needed to change the portgroup. The problem is that if we do, the distfile names change, so it might have to be a setting in the portgroup that individual ports can opt into. (If we go this way, we should make the option something like "github.legacy_tarball", make it default to no, edit each port using the portgroup to set it to yes, and then as each port is updated, that setting would be removed.)
