            Bug ID: 254856
           Summary: base system cannot pull/update official src or ports
                    repos, lacks git client
           Product: Base System
           Version: 13.0-STABLE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: m.bueker@berlin.de

The base system provides no means of pulling or updating src or the ports t=
ree
from the official git repos.

To get a copy of the official src or ports tree, currently a git client mus=
t be
installed as pre-compiled package (if available on the given arch), or comp=
iled
from a (potentially outdated) ports tree obtained by other means (such as
portsnap).

Providing a git client in base would obviate the need to either download the
pkg database and install a package, or somehow obtain a ports tree copy to
compile a git client in order to have an up-to-date src or ports tree.
