Hi!
As a minor aside, has anyone stated the reason why the user-base of base
or ports are moving to git?
Yes:
https://github.com/bsdimp/freebsd-git-docs/blob/main/git-why.md
Then the question is : Moving forward, how do we update
the ports?
The same questions keep being asked even if replied to multiple times.
you can use git with the official git repo (once it will be available,
migration is still in progress), or reference a mirror on github or
gitlab. Some documentation about how to do this is available at [1].
If I understand correctly documentation will also be added to the
handbook once migration is done.
Git is a little complicated but a lot of documentation is available on
the internet. search engines are you friends.
If you only want to keep /usr/ports updated the easiest tool to achieve
that is gitup available in ports at net/gitup.
I reiterate, migration is still in progress, the latest available
snapshot of the ports tree (at present read only) is via subversion.
once migration is done the official git repo and mirrors will be available.
There isn't much more to be sail until the migration is done.
Git is ready,
but I use pkg/portsnap .
How does that affect us?
AFAIK you can't use it anymore. Use gitup. It's almost a drop-in
replacement.
How do we use gitup in this scenario?
What scenario?
Please install gitup and read it's man page, it's straight forward.

Results:
gitup -v 1 ports
# Host: github.com
# Port: 443
# Repository: /freebsd/freebsd-ports.git
# Target: /usr/ports
gitup: get_commit_details: refs/heads/master doesn't exist in
/freebsd/freebsd-ports.git: Invalid argument
Thew migration is still in progress, so I guess the repository is in an
unstable state. Try again once the migration is done.

LEt us know when ready.
This is getting ridicolous.
Why should I let you know? Learn to read documentation and use provided
information instruments yourself.
Check this very thread, in previous posts you have all links and
information necessary to know when the tree will be ready, how to
configure various tools you need.
There is a limit to hand holding you can expect on mailing lists.
