Congratulations on moving doc and current src trees to git.

I made the transition and ran "rm -Rf" on doc svn tree, src svn tree and also src12 tree.

I am abandoning releng-12 because of problems with internet connectivity, which even appeared in NomadBSD live USB based on FreeBSD 12.1.

Will stable/11 and stable/12 be available by both git and svn?  This is just idle curiosity in my case.
