Hi Filip!
Others have what explained why copying the repo (and everything around it) is
not a good idea, so I'll only reply to the other points.

Currently, amber branch only have
* radeon
* r200
* i915
* i965
* nouveau (the DRI driver for NV04-NV20)
Indeed, I think i915 and i965 can also be removed from amber branch,
because they have alternative i915g/ crocus alternatives in main branch,
maybe in future, after all code that's not belongs

Removing mainline drivers from the build system of Amber is a good idea.

Git stores all commits. Removing files at the top of main doesn't make the
repository smaller. It actually makes it bigger. Forking the repository
would also double the size on the server.
