I just do this assuming /usr/src is empty already:

  # cd /usr
  # git clone https://git.FreeBSD.org/src.git
  # cd /usr/src
  # git config pull.ff=only

Before each build:

  # git pull
  # make -j 8 buildworld >& /root/builds/world/`git rev-parse --short HEAD`
  # make -j 8 buildkernel ...
  # reboot

...

  # cd /usr/src
  # make installworld
  # mergemaster -iFU     /* need to start using an alt method for this */

  # reboot

works for me (tm)
