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)]]; {{devsummit/201905/core.10_bsdcan_status_update.pdf?linkonly|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]]).
