There was discussion about a possible switch to git on the freebsd-git 
mailing list as early as February 2017: 
https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-git/2017-February/000092.html

Ed gave a talk about FreeBSD and git back in 2018:

The Git Transition Working group was mentioned in the quarterly status 
reports a year ago: 
https://www.freebsd.org/news/status/report-2019-07-2019-09.html and 
https://www.freebsd.org/news/status/report-2019-04-2019-06.html
