git @2.40.1_0+credential_osxkeychain+diff_highlight+doc+pcre+perl5_34: download 404's

[At0micMac]

When trying to update git today, I noticed that it 404's, not just for the package I'm trying to download (git-2.40.1_0+credential_osxkeychain+diff_highlight+doc+pcre+perl5_34.darwin_17.x86_64.tbz2), but for the entire ​http://packages.macports.org/git directory.

sudo port -b install git

The various licenses don't allow us to distribute binaries for git, so MacPorts will need to build it from source.

Eliminate -b from your install command, and you should be good-to-go.
