Unfortunately svn is frozen at
Revision: 569609
which I'm sure will disenfranchise some.

I'd suggest that you search this mail-list for
"Re: I run poudriere - what do I need to do once ports switch over to git?"
Though it is not something we use.

This may help https://wiki.freebsd.org/git
specifically https://github.com/lwhsu/freebsd-git-docs/blob/main/URLs.md

The reason(s) for moving to git are described here
https://github.com/bsdimp/freebsd-git-docs/

I've also found Ed Maste's email "Proposed ports git transition
schedule" helpful.
