I see the manual page for etcupdate(8) but I'm not sure how to proceed.
-s source Specify an alternate source tree to use when building
or extracting a “current” tree. The default source
tree is /usr/src.
With the transition to Git
==========================
If it's true that /usr/src is _no longer_ a predictable path to the
source files, then is it still appropriate for users' fortunes to
include this FreeBSD tip?
<https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/tree/usr.bin/fortune/datfiles/freebsd-tips?id=6b8f0ba8e29699e1184c27e8c72574896fb0a661#n529>
It is, still, essentially a smart tip (thank you, Lars) however some
readers who have switched to the `git` approach might benefit from an
additional hint to use option -s
svnlite
=======
<https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html>
still describes use of `svnlite` (not `git` or `got`) and, I guess,
might continue to do so for some time.
In this context, is `cd /usr/src` still true?

Thanks everyone
