Why was the intention to switch NOT announced as such MUCH sooner?
There was discussion about a possible switch to git on the freebsd-git
mailing
list as early as February 2017:

Ed gave a talk about FreeBSD and git back in 2018:

The Git Transition Working group was mentioned in the quarterly status
reports a
year ago: https://www.freebsd.org/news/status/report-2019-07-2019-09.html
and
https://www.freebsd.org/news/status/report-2019-04-2019-06.html
It appears to me that the references you make here all allude to
_investigation_
of a _possibility_ as opposed to a _likelihood_, or an _inevitable_.
IMHO a change as significant as this, which will require tossing years of
tooling
out the window, and an untold amount of _re_tooling. Should have created an
announcement at _least_ as significant as a new release gets on the mailing
lists.
Thanks for taking the time to reply, Kristof.
