Warner,

   Why is it that the project can't continue to operate the SVN server in
addition to Git, gatewaying with -current as is being done with 12-stable?
As a developer, I definitely need monotonic revision numbers and reliable
dates when I'm trying to troubleshoot a regression. I understand that you
want better 'collaboration' in FreeBSD, but why can't we have the best of
both worlds?
