There are, undoubtedly, many different ways to do at least some of what
you ask; making a good choice among them requires more knowledge of your
requirements and a deeper understanding of how git works than I have.

That said, while I haven't updated
https://www.catwhisker.org/~david/FreeBSD/repo-sync.html specifically
for stable/13, it's isomorphic to stable/12.

More specifically, what I did/do:

> 1. checking out 13/stable from a bare /usr/src

# Initially:
# Access my local mirror of https://git.freebsd.org/src.git.
# Could use https://git.freebsd.org/src.git directly.
git clone file:///repo/git/freebsd/src.git /usr/src
git checkout stable/13

> 2. keeping this checkout up-to-date

# Each morning (after my local mirror has been updated):
git -C /usr/src pull

> 3. same, but for 12/stable

The above, but s/13/12/g  (Well, mught want to think about where you
want that working copy to be.  On my machines where I track FreeBSD, I
boot them from different slices to run different branches of FreeBSD, so
/usr/src is the appropriate working copy for whatever branch I'm
running, as each slice has its own root and /usr file systems.)

> At what stage do we have to use etcupdate? rather than mergemaster

I made the switch after about the 3rd day following the svn->git switch.
Had I been a masochist, I could have continued using mergemaster.
