Building INDEX is not essential in this thread, merging trees is
closer to subject,
but primary I want, that testing development version of ports will be simpler.

Please look at: 'Firefox 4 - Beta' threat:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2011-March/066353.html
some people don't known where they can find freebsd-gecko development repo.

Or at 'xorg-server 1.9.3 and 1.10.0' threat:

but without any info where I can find xorg-dev repo,
How I can test new xorg, since I don't known where this repo is?
