What's considered the current 'best practice' for following OpenBSD
src with git?  I'm interested in trying out git for managing my
growing list of pending/WIP patches for the src tree, but there seem
to be a bunch of options and I don't know if there's any preference
between them.

It looks like ustuehler and jcs both wrote their own cvs-to-git
importers for handling the OpenBSD src tree:

https://github.com/ustuehler/git-cvs
https://github.com/jcs/bigcvs2git

There's also a bunch of other standard cvs->git tools that seem to
have various issues dealing with large CVS trees.

I also found some recommendations of using
http://anoncvs.estpak.ee/cgi-bin/cgit/ for following the ports tree,
but jcs seemed to warn against that last year because the tool they
use doesn't produce "accurate conversions":
https://jcs.org/statuses/2011/10/20/127228971401216000/  (I'm also
somewhat hesitant to trust a third-party mirror rather than mirroring
from cvs myself and running one of the above conversion tools.)

Anyone care to weigh in on their experience and give some recommendations here?
