Error: Processing of port git-core failed

I'm running the command above trying to install git-core and I don't understand what the log is telling me.

Please remember to use WikiFormatting when writing in Trac.

The log appears to be telling you that the sed and expr commands cannot be found. These are standard UNIX commands that are part of every OS X install; if they're missing on your system, other commands may be missing as well, and the simplest way to get them back would be to reinstall OS X.

I updated the macports.conf file to fix the path and it works now. Thanks

# PATH settings that are used for external tools (configure, make, etc.) while
# installing ports. The default paths are given in the example; it need not be
# uncommented.  Customizing binpath is unsupported and is intended for
# advanced users only.
#binpath                /opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
binpath /Developer/usr/bin:/bin/expr:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The default binpath in macports.conf is correct and should not need adjusting.

/bin/expr is probably not a valid directory on your system and so should not be in the binpath.
