Most of the content in svnadmin is not so useful in git, so only
access and mentors files (including their history) are preserved in an
"orphan branch" in git, internal/admin.

Other config files like approvers will be converted to a new format to
match the philosophy and the hooks under development. They will be
added to the internal/admin branch when we open more workflows.

Here is how I check out the internal/admin branch (to "admin" local branch):

git config --add remote.origin.fetch '+refs/internal/*:refs/internal/*'
git fetch
git checkout -b admin internal/admin

For browsing in cgit: https://cgit-dev.freebsd.org/doc/log/?h=internal/admin

Best,
