Description
In my installation, the shasum of the /opt/local/bin/git binary (1238372 bytes or 2419 512-byte blocks long) is df903d1522d3903a95dd12036fac82d9f6133e0a. That same file occurrs in no less than 214 places on disk after installation, only half of which are hardlinks (presumably the /opt/local/var/macports/software/git-core/1.7.1.1_0+doc+svn/opt/local mirror of the /opt/local tree), which seems like serious waste.
Attaching the output of "shasum $(find /opt/local -type f -size 2419)" on my system, that lists all the culprits.

As I recall, hardlinks do not survive MacPorts' destroot process; git-core should be revised to use symlinks instead.
Please remember to Cc the port maintainer.

Maybe I found a solution with replacing the hardlinks in $(prefix)/libexec/git-core with symlinks at least.
Find attached Portfile.patch and patch-Makefile.diff
