Places to go to see build status include:

https://www.freshports.org/devel/libunwind/
(FreeBSD:14:aarch64 20211201_2)

https://www.freshports.org/devel/git/
(FreeBSD:14:aarch64 2.40.0)

Hovering over the likes of "2.40.0"
shows dates, such as a "repo build date"
of 2023-May-01 13:08. That would be:
( looking on https://pkg-status.freebsd.org/?all=1&type=package )

p519c178336e5_scb3c414f2f
Started: Tue, 25 Apr 2023 03:04:56 GMT
Elapsed: 154:14:09 (about 6.4 days)

But that is not the time of updating the
distribution server(s) that you happen to
use.

FYI:
build of devel/git | git-2.40.0 ended at Tue Apr 25 17:48:23 UTC 2023
(so fairly early in the bulk build)

It looks reasonable to be checking for
git, git-lite, or git-tiny on a regular
basis at this point.
