Thanks in advance!.

looks like you have an older mac. This has been coming up a lot lately.

A long term permanent solution is under discussion, but not yet resolved.

see 51516 for a general fix you can try if you're feeling brave and adventuresome

for a one-off fix, download git and gitmanpages using wget into /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/git/

In 7a428704/macports-ports:

git: add alternative download URL to master_sites

The main server at www.kernel.org has a hard requirement for TLS 1.2,
which is not available on older versions of macOS. This CDN mirror is
less restrictive and can be accessed using TLS 1.0.

Closes: #52602
Closes: #52604
Closes: #52836
See: #51516

I downloaded git-2.10.1.tar.gz manually(wget) as you suggested and was able to upgrade.

Thanks!
