Only that net/gitup is very lightweight and doesn't use git, so if you
want to just get the latest contents of a git repository, that's
probably what you want to use.

I don't get what you mean. Repo details? A URL. There's example
configurations containing the correct ones, just like portsnap has a
server configured where to fetch snapshots from.

And that's all it does, it doesn't do any "security checks", that's
handled by pkg audit.

I'd assume (someone may correct me) that portsnap will still be
supported, as the snapshots don't depend on svn or git. But as you asked
for a replacement for git, gitup comes to mind as a simple tool.
