--- Description ---
# pkg update
The package management tool is not yet installed on your system.
Do you want to fetch and install it now? [y/N]: y
Bootstrapping pkg from
ssh://svn.XXX.XXX.ru/poudriere/data/packages/FreeBSD:12:amd64, please wait...
pkg: Error fetching
ssh://svn.XXX.XXX.ru/poudriere/data/packages/FreeBSD:12:amd64/Latest/pkg.txz:
Invalid URL scheme
A pre-built version of pkg could not be found for your system.
Consider changing PACKAGESITE or installing it from ports: 'ports-mgmt/pkg'.
#

The package is of course there:

# scp svn.XXX.XXX.ru:/poudriere/data/packages/FreeBSD:12:amd64/Latest/pkg.txz .
pkg.txz

Workaround: enable the default FreeBSD repo (or any other repo available via
http://), let it fetch and install pkg, then reenable the ssh:// repo.
