If you are open to trying github and git, I would recommend that
you give it a shot, because maintaining your own private FreeBSD branch off
of github using git is far easier than svn.
(1) Look at the FreeBSD mirror on github here:
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd
( also refer to https://wiki.freebsd.org/Git )
(2) Create your own fork of the FreeBSD github repo:
https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo
If you follow that article, you can make local changes in your fork,
and pull down changes from the origin freebsd/freebsd repo. I'm a newbie
to git, but I was surprised by how easy it was to do.
This blog post has some good tips:
