Git (and git-lite) are available only in ports/packages at the moment. = For those wanting to track src via git, you need to install it from = there. I believe any plans for a git-compatible tool in base would be = derived from Got (devel/got) due to licensing. But, unless I'm mistaken, there is no need to install git to be able to = continue to get copies of src. It's only developers who need to commit = changes to src that need to switch over to git in the near future. Just = as FreeBSD's src has been made available as a Git repository from the = canonical Subversion repo (e.g., on GitHub), I'm sure the reverse will = be true for some time and you'll be able to continue to get src updates = via Subversion. That would surely be the case for existing releases = (otherwise it would be a huge POLA violation). I track NetBSD src via Git, even though that project currently = officially uses CVS. Cheers, Paul.
