git filter-repo is a versatile tool for rewriting history, which
includes capabilities I have not found anywhere else. It roughly falls
into the same space of tool as git filter-branch but without the
capitulation-inducing poor performance, with far more capabilities,
and with a design that scales usability-wise beyond trivial rewriting
cases. git filter-repo is now recommended by the git project instead of
git filter-branch.
devel/git-filter-repo: Use example 18 in the handbook as a template
With this approach, the distfile fetched from GH created a WRKSRC name
not expected by ports plumbing. We also need to Adjust WRKSRC to match
the extracted directory name from the tarball.

devel/git-filter-repo: Update to the latest development branch
Point the upstream github hash that contains the 24+ commits that
fix the data loss issue, making PORTREVISION=1 of this port the
same as the -devel port.
I don't normally like to have a GA port point to a devel branch but
in this case backporting 24 commits leaves too much room for error.
These changes will be removed when upstream releases a new version.

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.

Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.
