Git and related corrections and improvements

df53ae0fdd98e9452095ac2fdaf95fcfac8c9c7f (2023-04-23):

  • removed portsnap
  • encourages use of Git.

This round of Git-oriented corrections and changes is, essentially,
timed to precede creation of the releng/14.0 branch. Not intended to be
comprehensive.

Attention to things such as:

  • HEAD (not a branch) and main (branch)
  • main (not a branch) and mainline
  • repositories (there are three)
  • ports latest, current (not CURRENT) and quarterly
  • FREEBSD-CURRENT and FREEBSD-STABLE
  • master
  • things that were relevant only around the time of migration to Git
  • markup
  • grammar.

Under
https://docs.freebsd.org/en/articles/committers-guide/#_rebasing_your_change_against_latest_freebsd_source_tree
a list of items was misrepresented as a single paragraph with asterisk
characters in its midst.
