Useful things to know about the FreeBSD Project and its development process, whether working independently or in close cooperation:
-The SVN repositories[[development-cvs-repository]]::
+The Git repositories[[development-cvs-repository]]::
For several years, the central source tree for FreeBSD was maintained by http://www.nongnu.org/cvs/[CVS] (Concurrent Versions System), a freely available source code control tool.
In June 2008, the Project switched to using https://subversion.apache.org/[SVN] (Subversion).
The switch was deemed necessary, as the technical limitations imposed by CVS were becoming obvious due to the rapid expansion of the source tree and the amount of history already stored.
The Documentation Project and Ports Collection repositories also moved from CVS to SVN in May 2012 and July 2012, respectively.
+In December 2020, the Project https://www.freebsd.org/status/report-2020-10-2020-12.html#Git-Migration-Working-Group[migrated Source and Documentation repositories] to https://git-scm.com/[Git], with https://www.freebsd.org/status/report-2021-04-2021-06/#_git_migration_working_group[Ports following suit] in April 2021.
Please refer to the crossref:cutting-edge[synching, Obtaining the Source] section for more information on obtaining the FreeBSD `src/` repository and crossref:ports[ports-using, Using the Ports Collection] for details on obtaining the FreeBSD Ports Collection.
The committers list[[development-committers]]::
-The _committers_ are the people who have _write_ access to the Subversion tree, and are authorized to make modifications to the FreeBSD source (the term "committer" comes from `commit`, the source control command which is used to bring new changes into the repository).
+The _committers_ are the people who have _push_ access to the Git repository, and are authorized to make modifications to the FreeBSD source (the term "committer" comes from `commit`, the source control command which is used to bring new changes into the repository).
Anyone can submit a bug to the https://bugs.FreeBSD.org/submit/[Bug Database].
Before submitting a bug report, the FreeBSD mailing lists, IRC channels, or forums can be used to help verify that an issue is actually a bug.
