*Track FreeBSD source code.* The project makes it easy to mirror its SVN repository using link:{committers-guide}#svn-advanced-use-setting-up-svnsync[svnsync]. Having the complete history of the source is useful when debugging complex problems and offers valuable insight into the intentions of the original developers. Use a capable source control system that allows you to easily merge changes between the upstream FreeBSD code base and your own in-house code. *Track FreeBSD source code.* The project makes it easy to mirror its SVN repository using extref:{committers-guide}[svnsync, svn-advanced-use-setting-up-svnsync].
