If you only want to add extra ports, I'd recommend maintaining a
separate repo for use with the ports collection's under-documented
overlay feature.  This avoids the need to rebase or merge your trees.

You create the overlay in poudriere with something like:

poudriere ports -c -p cheri-ports-overlay -U https://github.com/CTSRD-CHERI/cheri-ports-overlay.git -m git -B main

You then use it by adding -O cheri-ports-overlay to your other poudriere
commands like poudriere bulk.

Note that you may need to install poudriere-devel or install it by hand
to get this feature.
