Per the Core Status Report for 2020-04/05/06, I find this hard to believe.
Conversion to Git is provably feasible for doc and src, but not for ports.
portmgr@ considered a few things implicit in Git as show-stoppers.  Some
members in ports consider lack of tracking renames a show-stopper (I sure
do).  It is definitely the case that SVN currently works well with a mono-
repo and serves us perfectly fine.

Did the Foundation sponsor the work to teach Git how to properly track
renames?  What about sparse and partial tree checkouts and properties,
e.g. keyword expansion?  If there are any no's, I don't see how and why
ports can/should be switched to Git in the near future.
