I've always been confused by this.  Which source repo is the true source
of truth?

To obtain the FreeBSD source, you can use CVS, SVN, or Git?  Do all have
the same level of support?  Are they all up to date?

How much effor would their really be involved, considering your link to
the FreeBSD source repo on github.  Converting the repos to me seems
like it would be the bulk of it, and that work is already done.  Help me
understand please.

Also, local branching and merging is amazing.
