FreeBSD: GIT instaed of SVN?

When it comes to keeping sources, most developer and most large
dislocated and non-centralized projects prefer GIT over Subversion.

FreeBSD has moved from the ancient CVS to Subversion not long ago and I
was wondering why freeBSD would have done this, since Subversion lacks
in so many aspects of a modern revision system.

Well, I face several odds now since I need a kind of hot replication
system that replicates my Subversion repositories and I feel
uncomfortable with the way Subversion performs this. I decided to move
forward to GIT which seems more appropriate in any aspect and while I do
not have so much legacy to carry on with, I think for me pesonally the
move is more logical.

But what is with the FreeBSD project? Are there any attempts or
intentions to bring GIT also to the sources (the base system, the ports)?
