Comment(by cal@…):

 Note that pulling from whatever master is at the time of pulling is
 usually not how we handle packaging git sources, since we aim for
 reproducible builds. Please add a suitable commit-ish as specified by the
 git manual as "git.branch <commitish>" to the Portfile.

 You can also simplify your effort by using the recently created github
 portgroup [source:trunk/dports/_resources/port1.0/group/github-1.0.tcl]:

 {{{
 github.setup basho rebar <commitish>

 # github.setup sets version to it's third argument, but sha1 hashes aren't
 strictly increasing and thus can't be used as version
 version <some version number, which should be always increasing, e.g. date
 +%Y-%m-%d>
 }}}
 and instead you can drop `name`, `homepage`, `fetch.*`, `git.*` and you
 automatically get livecheck. Also consider using the tag RELEASE-1.
