We'll make sure that the plans are clear.

All this history has been preserved, modulo some really weird things that
were done back in the CVS era with repo copies. We have a 'beta' version of
this available today.

I'll write up something that has these basic details in it. I've been
focusing on the harder stuff.

For now, though, you might want to look at
https://github.com/bsdimp/freebsd-git-docs/ for the docs we do have,
especially
https://github.com/bsdimp/freebsd-git-docs/blob/main/mini-primer.md which
should answer most of your questions.
