With the transition to Git ========================== If it's true that /usr/src is _no longer_ a predictable path to the source files, then is it still appropriate for users' fortunes to include this FreeBSD tip? It is, still, essentially a smart tip (thank you, Lars) however some readers who have switched to the `git` approach might benefit from an additional hint to use option -s svnlite ======= still describes use of `svnlite` (not `git` or `got`) and, I guess, might continue to do so for some time. In this context, is `cd /usr/src` still true? ---- Thanks everyone
