HEADS UP: FreeBSD src repo transitioning to git this weekend

[grarpamp]

>> Though it can help attribute that to a source,

Meaning to source 'account', vs say weak old CVSROOT
that any could text edit on 200 account box, claim bitrot, etc.
Whether inspiration came from the pet dog's bug report
is moot, more secure systems narrow into accounts that
would then be examined for sensibility post. Even better before
then, said fun audit teams raise the cost to compromising
all N randomly changing slots on it, much harder to game than
a single endpoint. Audit counters by a bit different path than the
IT-people problems, does insert time in the process, yet can also
payoff by quality, and by rotating participants gaining broader
experience with entire codebase, and can even payout from said
10x crypto pot for bugs. Defense in depth, many knobs in the
orchestra, turn to set how you want, yet consider before leaving
any set too near zero.

Good that git monotone hashtrees keys TLS sigs pubkey
fingerprints pins TOTP automated lint coverage fuzzing zfs-skein,
etc displacing equivalents of legacy telnet CVSROOT, in some
OS and projects finally, and that development, being users too,
have interest benefit in, and can contribute to that areas and
transitions too.

Happy hacking in 2021 :)
