Comment(by blb at macports.org):
Replying to [comment:3 bcbarnes@…]:
> I removed git-core, changed the PATH as suggested, and
recompiled/installed git-core. Everything works fine; the macports
binaries of openssh are apparently not required for git to function
properly on OS X 10.5.5 (intel). If that is true, I would prefer that
they were not installed...

Note that the PATH used by port is not the same as your PATH, it sets it
up so that MacPorts' prefix is always first, so it most likely still uses
the ssh in MacPorts.
> I still find it slightly bad that the postflight script puts the
macports path first, and then some ports replace critical system
utilities. In what other cases does this happen? Is there a list?
This is for usability as otherwise there are numerous people who do want
the MacPorts-installed items to override what's in /usr, again you are
quite free to change this (I myself don't have it first in my PATH).
