The FreeBSD ports tree is maintained in Git. In Linux terms, think of this
being a tree of (unpacked) source RPMs that resides in Git. Additional changes
are stored as patches that are applied to the upstream archives after these
have been unpacked.

Doing this unpacking and patching in the tree is not what I have been doing,
but apparently it generally works.

Damjan?

There's some parts of the currently proposed patch that are generic, such as
the hunks to remove the dependency on `du -b`, Lines 66-72 and Lines 135-141;
could you apply those for now?
