The (still supported, although this will change, but probably not too soon) "standard" way for end users to update their ports with
portsnap
didn't change at all, so no need to announce anything here.
About transitioning ports to git, there were many mailing list postings, announcements also spread
https://wiki.freebsd.org/git where you'll find anything you need for now if you want to get ports directly from the repository.
The handbook still has to be updated regarding this (and I'd expect that pretty soon). The update was already done for
src
:

And regarding the original question: No git client is in base, and it doesn't really look like one will be included too soon. You will see discussions whether
svnlite
actually
needs a replacement. Many seem to think it doesn't (which IMHO makes sense, you don't
have to follow source repositories, it's optional…). The other discussion is whether
portsnap
will need a replacement once (maybe after EOL of 13) it is removed. Some think it doesn't either, but it also looks like
gitup
could be a candidate for replacement. But it's probably too early in these discussions to predict the final outcome.
