This and the other ongoing today subversion > git threads IMHO need four or=
 more=20
new paragraphs in /usr/src/UPDATING and eventually /usr/ports/UPDATING so
persons who for lack of time won't ever get upto speed entirely on how to r=
un git

ports
cd /usr/ports/Mk
svn up .
=20
and=20

src

cd /usr/src/sbin
svn up
[[... denotes by default the branch checked out, addl parameters probably ]
as well as 'swn switch' equivalents
and another-destination equivalents

but I had to halt it for lack of time and being new.=20
