I'm in a similar boat. Though, prior to an update, we'd review the changes via the mailing lists. The main list we used was: https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/svn-src-stable-12/ but that appears dead. Normally we'd update fortnightly or trigger an update when there was an incremental patch update to "release" as advised via: https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/svn-src-release/ suspect also dead. Suggestion - final entry in dead lists to provide a pointer to its git equivalent? I suspect that https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/dev-commits-src-branches/2021-January/thread.html is the stable-12 equivalent but are incremental patch releases also available here? As a change management task, I would hope that a mapping between svnlite and git would've become available for FreeBSD users, similar to the cvs to svnlite migration. I guess we need to create a test machine to figure out the commands we need for git to replace what we use in the scripts (mainly "update -r "{$DATE}", diff and log along with the incantation to create a git repository). I wish that I could articulate the reason to management that FreeBSD is making the move from svn to git? Is there a timeline when svn for stable-12 /usr/src disappears? (I'm dreading a ports move to a git paradigm...)
