It's a silly reason. Svn revision numbers will be preserved in the
conversion process. Git hashes likely won't so this hash may be
unconvertable to anything at all in the future...

FreeBSD is planning a conversion to git. It's an open question at the
moment what happens to the 'beta' readonly export we're doing to github.
There's a number of technical issues with it which make using it for our
source of truth difficult on an ongoing basis, so there's a real chance the
hashes will change for people just grabbing a FreeBSD tree...

Yes, that's the reason I'm using Git hash here.
Nowadays I don't use their svn repo at all, so if recording Git hash
is not appropriate, I'll just note "taken-from: FreeBSD" without any
specific revision#.
