I'm still not sure I fully understand. What exactly is in the branch?

Is it a true branch of illumos-gate, which just happens to have an
unmodified mdocml-1.12.1 where the combined change is in master?


And how exactly is having a branch containing the commit of the
unmodified bits better than having a commit in master? How many branches
will we end up having if we do that for every piece of externally
maintained code?
