Yes, eventually. There's also a transition to asciidoc going on in doc
land, and I didn't want to make it harder by churning things for them while
that was in progress.

I've put together some docs on this.
https://github.com/bsdimp/freebsd-git-docs/ has them all.

https://github.com/bsdimp/freebsd-git-docs/blob/main/src-cvt.md has the
specifics, but I'm still polishing it. It has the basics, but the examples
still need work.

The tl;dr version, though, is that you'll have to pull a fresh tree from
the git repo once we make the cutover and then use git to update that tree.
Other than that, the rest of the instructions are the same. If you have
local changes, then

https://github.com/bsdimp/freebsd-git-docs/blob/main/mini-primer.md

also has some details beyond the basics.
