    I have been getting no updates on repeated attempts today...it remains at revision 569609.

    Is something that usually happens not happening?

    So will "svn update" be redirected or need reinitiation?

    It's not there yet, it will appear between Apr 3rd and 6th, see <https://wiki.freebsd.org/git>.

    And svn isn't any more, you need git now. If you want a "real" clone,
    install devel/git (the "tiny" flavor is enough). If you just want to
    keep your tree up to date, net/gitup is a simple and dependency-free alternative.

    The ports repository is being transitioned from Subversion to Git.
    At the time I'm writing this, the Subversion tree has been frozen.

    You can see the schedule here and follow its progress over the next
    few days:

    I take it the implementation is still incomplete

    I am still waiting for this transition to work itself out.

    The first git commit just came in roughly an hour ago:

    <https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/commit/?id=ed8d3eda309dd863fb66e04bccaa513eee255cbf>

    Since then, there were already a few port updates.

    No. It *might* need a changed configuration (if the one in the package
    still points at Github for ports), this is simple to do. Upstream
    already has the configuration point at official FreeBSD repos:

    portsnap(8) is not going away that soon (its still on 13.0-RELEASE).

    As for subversion, its frozen at r569609[1] so you'll need to use either devel/git or net/gitup in place of svn(1).
    The handbook has been updated and does have some basic git examples
    for the ports tree[2].

    I haven't updated via portsnap for a while,I was using svn update.

    Although the www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook does
    not include the git-method section,I did find it on the above link,
    and since I already had a /usr/ports it wouldn't take it straight,
    but I created a /usr/ports/git directory and put the git version there,
    and a /usr/ports/pregit directory and moved the other subdirectories
    and housekeeping files of /usr/ports there.

    Not sure what I still need to do to get back to maintaining a local
    package repository via Synth.

    After long threads starting on mid 2020 on mailing lists about
    deprecation of portsnap(8), it sill there and not going away anytime
    soon from what we can read on FreeBSD's forums[1].

    I expect Louis will still have trouble.
