I've tried this shortly after you released it. But it did not work as expected. The symtom was (IIRC) that a simple

   git init

said that 'init' is not a git-command. I tried this from CMD, not rxvt.

There are meanwhile a number of improvements in the port that support relocation (i.e. an arbitrary installation directory). Could you please package the latest version from the 'devel' branch?
