When moving from gitup to git, will already installed ports be affected?

I have used net/gitup for updating the ports tree and now want to move to devel/git instead.

Is it completely safe to delete the /usr/ports directory before running # git clone https://git.freebsd.org/ports.git /usr/ports?

E.g what will happen to all the already installed ports, and will only the make configs be lost?

Thanks,
