I'm probably fine with this and I think that all of the (now) supported

To leverage the UX flaws of git and svn(lite) compared to portsnap
having a wrapper script around the two tools would be very appreciated.
Something like
# portsnap-ng --mode git --branch 2020Q2 --destination /ports/2020Q2 fetch
extract
The package devel/git does not seem to be installed, do you want to install
it? (Y/n) _
With sane defaults, so you can just run portsnap fetch extract like
you're used to and this
downloads the latest ports tree to /usr/ports using base svnlite(1).
While we're here: Can we please have a separate user that is used to
checkout the tree?
Lars
P.S.: Please DO NOT name the wrapper portsnap-ng. :-)
I think something like this will likely in many ways perpetuate many of
the problems I listed in my original email, particularly with folks
being on the wrong branch and not properly generating patches.
