Exactly.

But one of the questions arises: why do you need the global index at all?

In the times of subversion I had a sparse checkout with only the ports
I was interested in.
Today I'm exercising a somewhat weird practice. I collect just a small
number of symlinks to macports-ports from git in my local tree. I'm
not too happy about this though, adding and removing symlinks is
sometimes a bit annoying.
