hi,

My opinion is that it's a wrong idea because git is not in-tree in 
NetBSD (and I think it's the same case on DragonFlyBSD but I may be 
wrong...), so on a fresh system, you just can't get pkgsrc-wip without 
installing git and all the dependencies... with CVS you have everything 
out of the box to get wip...
