you're right, I should have been more detailed.

My context is in looking after various 12-stable machines.

Basically I'm asking "which is the source for truth now". I'm not a dev
so this is non-obvious to me; all i'm interested in is keeping machines
up-to-date. I knew stable/13 and current/14 were going to git, but never
heard anything about stable/12 or earlier versions.

I saw on cgit that stable/12 was there. These older systems weekly 
update their sources via svn till now, in a cron job. At the time I wrote 
my message, I saw that svn still works, so was wondering which to use, 
which has the latest updates. 

thanks,
