Can anyone give me the magic formula for fetching the most recent git

The porter's handbook talks about how to fetch git repos from github
but not about how to get them from sourceforge.

I've tried a few things but can't get the right combo of MASTER_SITES
and PORTNAME, DISTFILE, and DISTVERSION

The git clone cmd is:
   git clone https://git.code.sf.net/p/nufraw/git nufraw-git

This particular git version says it is 0.41 but attempting to fetch
with from
   PORTVERSION=    0.41
   MASTER_SITES=   https://sourceforge.net/projects/nufraw/files/latest/
doesn't work; PORTVERSION=  0.40 does.
I've also tried with
   DISTVERSION=    07ebb73a
with no joy.

Many thanks to Jeremy Chadwick for guidance.
Appropriate values for the above example are:

DISTVERSION= 0.41
MASTER_SITES= SOURCEFORGE/nufraw

A problem also encountered while searching for a solution was a stale distinfo
left over from using the 0.40 version; moving it aside allowed the fetch to
complete.  Apparently the distinfo file is checked during the fetch process
if it exists, not just at extract time.
