The only benefit is having the branch available to different developers
because, according to #kde-sysadmin yesterday afternoon it's not possible to
have team clones in git.kde.org. Other reasoning here is not important (as
apaku said it's possible to list all branches just by adding the remote).

On the other hand, it's still a valid way to do so, so i'm fine with using
it.
