GitWorkflow: using Git to hack on FreeBSD in svn. Begun in 2011, mostly obsoleted by migrating to Git.

In 2019, Core chartered a Git Working Group ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nc8N6GtAPg#t=46m00s|May 2019 DevSummit announcement (Youtube)]]; [[attachment:DevSummit/201905/core.10 BSDCan Status Update.pdf|Slides from same, p. 49+]]) for a detailed implementation of using Git as the primary system for FreeBSD development.

'''2021-06-08:''' The vendor/openzfs branch was renamed ([[ https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-current/2021-June/000153.html | details ]]).

'''2022-02-09:''' The vendor/illumos branch was updated and rolled back to its previous state due to some missing commit metadata ([[https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/dev-commits-src-all/2022-February/006642.html | details ]]).
