Hi Dan, it depends on how exactly you are using these repos, but we
won't have a mono-repo with src+doc+ports+QR combined, that seems a bit
impractical. I wish doc was merged into src at some stage, but it also
contains the website, so that would seem odd again.

Why would freshports need the quarterly reports or the doc repo though?
If you're looking for the quarterly ports branches instead, they are
simply branches in git, e.g.
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/tree/branches/2014Q1 but the
exact location is subject to change (the question is whether we want all
folks to always pull all old branches by default, because that seems
wasteful)
