Related to this,

It doesn't look like the FreeBSD ports SVN repository is used to its
full potential. SVN allows branching and creation of experimental
versions of the tree very easily and cheaply, yet all the experimental
repositories references so far are stored in some external
repositories, github or elsewhere.
