Just a quick note. I've been working on making the /stand environment easier to deal with and integrate into. After months of work on and off, the using Lua as a boot loader extension language is ready to roll into -current.

Setting up a SVN mirror
Setting up the svn mirror
Just following the steps in
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/committers-guide/subversion-primer.html
in the Setting up a svn mirror (5.4.7) but have found there's some issues...
First step, grab the svn seed file
% fetch ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/development/subversion/svnmirror-base-r290116.tar.xz
this takes about 30 minutes. Also grabbed svnmirror-ports-r400410.tar.xz for a ports mirror. These file names are different than the instructions.
Next extract this somewhere (say /home/svnmirror/base) and then update it with "svnsync sync file:///home/svnmirror/base" and then set it to updating. You can do similar things for docs and ports. These files are a couple of years old now, so the sync still takes a several of hours. I believe that this is due to the protocol round trips required to extract it being sensitive to the latency between my machines and the FreeBSD svn server.
I use the following shell script as a cron job to keep things up to date.

#!/bin/sh
URL=file://$HOME/svnsync
logdir=$HOME/svnsync/log
lock="lockf -s -t 0 -k /tmp/svn-sync-mutex"
${lock} svnsync sync ${URL}/base >> ${logdir}/svn-base.log 2>&1
${lock} svnsync sync ${URL}/ports >> ${logdir}/svn-ports.log 2>&1
${lock} newsyslog -r -f ${logdir}/newsyslog.conf
