This is really good news.

I don't know who is in charge of the ports mirror on github, but if it
would be possible to mirror these branches as well that would be really
helpful. I switched to using git for my ports tree a while ago, because
I have some local modifications and I find it much easier to maintain
them in git than to fight with svn.
