I've sent email to Rick, but haven't heard back yet. I've talked to Alan and he's good to go. We're transporting the projects and user branches over, but they will be read-only and in a quirky, weird place. I'll write up the docs. We won't allow new branches to be created. So users will have local branches only. Or they will need to create a fork on github/gitlab for now. > For things in ^/user that aren't branches of src like freebsd-update > bits, presumably those should be split out into separate repositories? > We'll provide the history here, but don't provide a service Warner
