Folks in that position might want to consider making the switch (for a given repo -- src; ports; doc) in two stages over a period of time: the first, to get an initial copy, then (the first of a series of) incremental updates. The duration of the first need not be especially critical. Of course, this presumes adequate local storage space. (I am currently testing my approach, using cgit-beta.freebsd.org for each of the three repos; the approach I am using is described in http://www.catwhisker.org/~david/FreeBSD/repo-sync.html, in case that's of use. Please note that I am actually using both svn & git, relying on svn for now, as it is the Source of Truth.) Peace, david --=20 David H.
