Git (and git-lite) are available only in ports/packages at the moment. For those wanting to track src via git, you need to install it from there. I believe any plans for a git-compatible tool in base would be derived from Got (devel/got) due to licensing. But, unless I'm mistaken, there is no need to install git to be able to continue to get copies of src. It's only developers who need to commit changes to src that need to switch over to git in the near future. Just as FreeBSD's src has been made available as a Git repository from the canonical Subversion repo (e.g., on GitHub), I'm sure the reverse will be true for some time and you'll be able to continue to get src updates via Subversion. That would surely be the case for existing releases (otherwise it would be a huge POLA violation). I track NetBSD src via Git, even though that project currently officially uses CVS.
