Thanks for the information, but if you feel the need to send me a not-quite-CC, please don't send me the multipart/alternative version when you send the plain-text version to the list.

I hate multipart/alternative!

When git becomes the source of truth on FreeBSD after the flag day, will it be necessary to git-clone the whole tree from scratch, or will there be a conversion tool to switch the svn download to proper git format?

The doc tree is much smaller than the src tree, while the ports tree is much bigger than the src tree.  Is that the reason for the few-months-long lag switching the ports trree to git?
