I would remove the "(also known as head)", since we are moving away from that terminology.

I will not complain either way, though.

But I would use '.Po/.Pc' macros instead of hard-coded parenthesis.

I think https://svn.freebsd.org/ports/head is a "check out" URL so the counterpart in git would be https://git.freebsd.org/ports , and maybe mention the -b main parameter when doing git clone.

Same here.

I'm good with this as it is, but if you make my suggested changes I'm good with it too :)

Maybe "formerly known as head" if you don't remove it.

I'd change this to 2019Q1 to 2021Q1

I suggest latest because we use that in /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf

We can explain more here, saying that the format is YYYYQN where YYYY is the year and N is the number of the quarter.

Not for releases, though. The quarterly branch is used in /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf there.

Yes which branches are used by which version is explained below. I mean here we can explain that the source of pkg's latest branch is ports' main branch.

86

it's nice to explain what yyyy and n means.

maybe "branches can be found in Git repository's"

Do we really need the branch/ prefix? It had a meaning when we were using subversion, but now, branches are branches, not subdirectories that we decided to use as a branch.
