HEADS UP: FreeBSD src repo transitioning to git this weekend

[John Kennedy]

Attributions are really confusing at this point...

  Bob, like mark, I replicated -CURRENT from git by:

	cd /usr/src
	git clone -o freebsd --config remote.freebsd.fetch='+refs/notes/*:refs/notes/*' \
		anongit at git.FreeBSD.org:src.git .
	git config pull.ff only
	git pull -v

  Special callout...  that "-o freebsd" and the "--config remote.freebsd.fetch"
are related (changing the origin label), and if you don't have them in sync you
won't pull down the refs/notes, so you git logs won't have all the details and
some of the detailed info (rev, commit Id, total refs) won't show up normally.

  I don't think https was working when I initially tried, but this worked.
