 |github and cgit-beta repositories are not the same.  Commit hashes won't 
 |match so you cannot simply change the URL.

Yes i know that, but most of the blobs are of course the same, no?
The same files.  All that is new are likely the notes and commit
objects, even the directory tree objects could often be the same,
but i do not know, also because i do not have the new data yet.
(But it is 100% that i will not actually inspect this deeply.)
Maybe they should split in cgit. and scm. (or .git) and use the
git-http-backend for clones on scm. (or .git) and then redirect
some requests, this works fine for years:

      url.redirect = (
         "^.*/([^/]+\.git/objects/.*)" => "https://???/scm/$1",
         "^.*/([^/]+\.git/info/refs\?service.*)" =>
               "https://????/scm/$1"
      )

I mean i really like saving some download that would go over
thousands of kilometres for absolutely nothing.
And i think it would be cool if all the many people which clone
the github repo just update to the finally landed freebsd.org
instance.
