For only getting 12's source (not for committing source)
. . .

For stable/12/ and releng/12.*/ and release/12.*.*/
svn can still be used: git use is and will be optional,
although svn is somewhat delayed from git for when
commits appear. (There was a recent problem that
made for a huge delay for svn to have the commits
appear. That has been fixed and the delays are back
to the normal timescale as I understand.)

For stable/13/ and releng/13.*/ and relelase/13.*/
and main (14) and later: snv can no longer be used
to get source.
