Read-only SVN mirror for ports: how large would it be?

Hey,

may I ask why you want to keep track of that in SVN?

Because your git repository is all local so you could commit those
changes you made locally into your repo, without interfering with the
upstream repo (as long as you do not push). If you'd like to keep the
changes seperate from things you might push, then you could track them
in a different branch, into which you merge the commits adding to the
"main" branch over time, or you rebase your branch on main. If this is
for you, you should read about the difference bewteen merge and rebase
in more detail to decide, which is best for you.

Cheers

Lars
