I'd also prefer your.org style repository with all branches. your.org branch layout is much better than http://gitorious.org/freebsd/freebsd The only thing that bothers me is that no repository includes full user names, hopefully it would be fixed in official git repo. Jonathan, could you update /Git wiki page with an example of git clone specifying only head branch and how to add another branch later. That would make local repository copy smaller, pull faster and 'git branch -r' output much shorter.
