Hey there Chris,
I actually invested some time figuring this out. When the GH_TAGNAME is used,
that hash will be downloaded instead of the PORTVERSION. Pretty much the
PORTVERSION variable is ignored other than the fact that is will be packed as
${PORTVERSION} so it is important to keep TAGNAME and PORTVERSION in sync.
