2.5 GB in .git directory sounds crazy and incomprehensible to me.

Only src tree I would be interested in now is HEAD (13-current), though I would also want the ports and doc trees.  Would that mollify the diskspace bloat?

I had trouble with the ethernet and wireless network drivers in FreeBSD 12 and 13-current, but there subsequently was a post on a big improvement to the network drivers for HEAD but not 12-stable.

So I am abandoning FreeBSD 12.x .

Hopefully I could update 13-current from within 13-current where I have no internet access but could use git from NetBSD, where I also have svn.
