Unable to git clone ports collection

Folks:

I'm following the docs at docs.freebsd.org. There's a line which dictates:

git clone https://git.freebsd.org/ports.git /usr/ports

This results in a redirection error. The error:

Cloning into '/usr/ports'
fatal: unable to update url base from redirection:
  asked for:
  https://git.freebsd.org/ports.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack
   redirect: https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports

Nothing is downloaded at /usr/ports and in fact the directory doesn't
exist.

Normally I would suspect I did something wrong, but this more like the docs
haven't been updated, or things moved unexpectedly.

Any clues?

Paul
