Although, frankly, I kind of would rather get rid of that script entirely and just require git.
Using Git doesn't seem possible when a parent directory in the path to wine-staging is a git repository, eg. when FreeBSD's Ports is itself a Git repo. Do you plan to remove support for that?
That is a really weird setup; are you actually creating a new repository with the files contained in wine-staging? So as to effectively reinvent its VCS?
It's not a huge problem, and I'm sure that freebsd has some weird build system requirements that make it necessary, but sheesh, that is very head-tilting.
Maybe we could just use --no-index?
But it's probably not really worth bothering about this; I guess the easiest thing to do is just take Damjan's patches as-is.
