I run poudriere - what do I need to do once ports switch over to git?

That means you can eg. use worktrees to check out different branches from a single copy of the repo, and map those onto poudriere.  Effectively it allows you to have full control over your local git repo rather than letting poudriere do its usual thing.

You can pretty easily just checkout /usr/src and then run `make buildworld buildkernel packages` which will create a repository under /usr/obj -- either use that as a 'file' based repo, or point nginx at it.  Probably best to play with base system packages on a throw-away VM before trying to use it on anything important: until you've got it properly fettled, there's a risk of stomping all over important files like /etc/passwd
