As far as I know, cvs is going to be deprecated at some point.

Also, I have no idea how up to date this is or anything but you could always try https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd

If you want the source to be in a git repository, you could use git-svn:

Code:

$ cd /usr/src/
$ git svn init svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/stable/9
$ git svn fetch -rXXXXXX

where the option -rXXXXXX tells git-svn to fetch the complete history beginning from revision XXXXXX, the current revision of /base/stable/9 is 240670 (so, don't set this value to small, otherwise the initial fetch will take forever). You can then subsequently update the repository with the git-svn analog to svn update:

Code:

$ git svn rebase

Thanx all for your answers,

@funky, apart from devel/svn2git (which is the port that I suppose you are talking about), there is a similar port for mercurial as well, devel/hgsvn.

Thanx again!

No, I ment the /devel/git-subversion port. Though, as far as I understand svn2git, it is similar to a git svn fetch of the full history.
