> gitup is useless 

Untrue. Too harsh. 


> too slow. 

Pros and cons of gitup, including the likelihood of inclusion in base, can be
discussed in FreeBSD Forums, if you like. 

<https://forums.freebsd.org/posts/544851>: 

* an explanation for relative slowness when pulling

* a quote about future attention to disk performance. 

----

For now: 

* use of gitup is reasonably widespread

* the wish for documentation is reasonable.
