            Bug ID: 296536
           Summary: how to gitify a pre-installed /usr/ports ?
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Books & Articles

I've a clean 14.x install which includes an unpacked /usr/ports.  While there's
`.gitignore`, there's no `.git` db.

I'm trying to set it up with a matching git repo, but this scenario doesn't
seem to be discussed in https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/ports/

(why do I suspect that long ago this wasn't a problem because ports shipped
with CVS)

I'm stuck at the first step as I can't even tell the tag used when /usr/ports
was created with a git export.
