    FAQ: switch Subversion references to Git
    
    FreeBSD uses Git for src, doc, and ports.
    
    Also update the number of active branches.  Some further updates are
    necessary.

 * To preserve a fixed reference point for the code in question, just in case we break something really badly later.
