[adding mat@ who is the portmgr-git liaison IIRC]

Hmm, so currently the quarterly (and older releng) branches are directly under
the "remotes" origin, just like master itself. This makes switching between
branches easy, which comes in handy for MFHs I think.

Is there a way to see how much space each of the branches consume? Currently I
have an idx of 141 MB and a pack of 763 MB, not much larger than a single
branch in Subversion (.svn directory starting at 650 MB).

Regards,
René
