this would be similar to my setup, too.

I have 3+ branches, as separate worktrees.

- main -> dch/main
- upstream -> freebsd-ports/main
- quarterly -> freebsd-ports/2022Q4 or whatever

my workflow is roughly as follows:

## do stuff, rebase it on upstream
$ cd /usr/ports (now in dch/main)
$ hack hack hack, git commit stuff on a pile of other crufty commits
$ git fetch upstream/main && git branch --force upstream upstream/main
$ git rebase --ignore-date --interactive upstream/main
$ run some poudrieres, mmmm so good

## pull these over to upstream and push
$ cd ~/ports/upstream
$ git cherry-pick main main~1 main~2
$ git push -u upstream HEAD:main

## woops we should MFH these to quarterly
$ cd ~/ports/quarterly
$ git fetch upstream 2022Q4 && git reset --hard upstream/2022Q4
$ git cherry-pick -x main main~1 main~2
$ git push -u quarterly HEAD:main

I think I got that more or less correct, it's a little confusing
where all the different mains point to initially.

Periodically, I need to adjust in .git/config where my "quarterly"
points to, then the git reset again just works.
