I'm pleased to share the Git Working Group's beta version of the FreeBSD doc, ports, and src repositories. You can browse the repositories at: https://cgit-beta.freebsd.org/ and the three individual repositories are: https://cgit-beta.freebsd.org/doc/ https://cgit-beta.freebsd.org/ports/ https://cgit-beta.freebsd.org/src/ Compared to the current git mirror repos (on GitHub) Ulrich has put in a lot of effort to fix svn2git (svn-all-fast-export) to handle mergeinfo and address other issues, so that the git conversion correctly represents vendor branch merges, tag operations, etc. This work is still ongoing as we work through the long tail of oddities in our Subversion history, so a caution is in order: THE GIT HASHES IN THESE REPOSITORIES WILL CHANGE! These are for experimental purposes only at this point, and should not yet be used for production purposes. An initial goal is to have maintainers of 3rd party ("contrib") software in FreeBSD clone and check the history of their individual components, and to start experimenting with managing vendor branches in the git model. A lot more detail will be provided in the near future, but I wanted to share the repository links so that interested parties can start working with these new repos.
