Great; happy to help.

That depends on (among other things):
* what (sequence of) branches you intend to use (quarterly? HEAD (main)?);
* how you maintain your local ports tree (if it's a git repo, I would
expect you would have no need to remove it -- just "git pull", possibly
with an occasional (quarterly) "git checkout
${current_quarterly_branch}").
I am not an expert in git, so there are likely "interesting" (and
possibly even useful) variations on that theme.

No; the quarterly branches only get critical fixes (IIRC). "main" (aka
"HEAD") is where normal, day-to-day changes are made. It (main) can
thus be a bit turbulent at times.
