My illumos-gate fork contains a script that I wrote which helps copy
files between illumos-gate and a FreeBSD(-like) tree:

https://github.com/wca/illumos-gate/blob/helper-scripts/freebsd_transfer.rb

I last used it to update my fork about two months ago.  Note that it
ignores new/deleted files, on assumption that such files are not
shared between illumos and FreeBSD (for example, vdev_geom.c).  I
normally use it in the opposite direction, but it should work for an
illumos-gate import too.

It would be nice if the relationship between illumos-gate and FreeBSD
files was less complicated.

It makes sense to me to switch to referencing the git repository,
since illumos began using it as their reference many moons ago.
