I possibly agree now with Robert we are better off not using Git for the
packaging repos, at least for now. Mostly it works okay, until
something throws the workflow off completely, then the way to fix it is
really not intuitive for most people.
What I like Git for mostly is its simple offline working, but that can
still be done locally just with `git init && git commit -a` inside an
SVN working copy. Providing a .gitignore file might be a nice convenience.
It might be more beneficial to change to Git or something else if
FreeBSD upstream ever do likewise.
