I'd stop the sentence here at the , and start a new one in order not to make the sentence too long.
The paragraph should then be like this:
From time to time ... variation from PORTREVISION. For example, if the version ...

1893

... and another stop here. The sentence goes from:
For example, if the version ... the tag is v1.0.2. In those cases, it is possible to use DISTVERSIONPREFIX or DISTVERSIONSUFFIX: ...

Split up the first sentence.

Thanks for documenting this piece!

I don't believe DISTVERSIONFULL is documented anywhere. I added it to avoid duplication, but it may be overkill. Either need to define DISTVERSIONFULL in the PH or just expand it out here to {DISTVERSIONPREVIX}{DISTVERSION}{DISTVERSIONSUFFIX}

Yeah, it's not documented anywhere, I started by expanding it here, but then the last column gets a bit big, and I'm sure the pdf version will look aweful. Maybe we don't really care.

Expand DISTVERSIONFULL, it does not really exist (c)(r)

Add a comma after the word "example", then it is perfect (for me).
