--- Comment #1 from Benedict Reuschling <bcr@FreeBSD.org> ---
There is no conversion method from an existing checkout of a previous
installation. In this situation, you can move your /usr/ports directory out of
the way and then do a fresh clone of either the HEAD or quarterly branch of the
git repo as outlined here:
