I don't think there were many branches in opensync, as I recall.
And any branches that might have been there were of limited use to me,
since I wouldn't have known the reasoning behind them.

I split the cmake modules into their own git repo, and when building
opensync and plugins, pointed to that repo with:

	-DCMAKE_MODULE_PATH=".../sources/cmake-modules"

Git does have the concept of submodules, but I didn't think it was worth
it for something like cmake modules.  Plus, it reinforces the idea that
the cmake-modules repo is something shared.

I used git submodules for my binary-meta git repo, which pulls in all
the other git repos, and provides a makefile mechanism to build them all,
either at a source level, or a DEB/RPM level.
