That sounds like a cool way, but I am kind of a git rookie. I assume 
that the reason to clone the main repository is that it will be easier 
to merge them together eventually? Or even to keep the plan 9 branch up 
to date with new versions of the mainline? I have based my port on the 
stable release 3.9 while the core team is happily hacking away on what 
even will be the next release (usually one version per year).

The official site has many git repositories 
(https://source.netsurf-browser.org) - from which I actually downloaded 
every support library separately. Each repository has a tag for each 
release. There are also a number of branches (especially for the main 
netsurf repository: 
https://source.netsurf-browser.org/netsurf.git/refs/heads) that looks 
like experiments.

I might be inclined to keep it simple to begin with, but if there are 
very compelling reasons for a more elaborate way, I might be open to 
that, in order to avoid lots of work later on.
