Don't change it now because it would invalidate all the checksums, but for
future reference, you shouldn't override the github.master_sites in this way.
You appear to be trying to force the use of "archive" URLs, but I know of no
benefit those URLs offer over the default "tarball" URLs the portgroup uses. If
we were to support "archive" URLs, we would want to do so in the github
portgroup, not by manually changing master_sites in portfiles. See:
https://trac.macports.org/ticket/40518
I have no objection to adding this feature to the github portgroup, it just
hasn't been a priority because I know of no benefit of doing so -- other than
the fact that it will reduce some confusion among portfile developers, which is
of course a valid reason.
