Maybe he wasn't using a version control system or a different one from git and didn't want to import?

I'm betting it was from Mercurial and he didn't bother to roll over the history.

From the readme:

>sudo port install ninja ragel boost multimarkdown mercurial

Yes it says later that it's only for a the SCM library tests, but it is ported to Github. Why not test the SCM library with git if you were using that? Seems more likely that he used Hg and was testing with it as well.
