I believe 'silver' was created from "scratch", so has not ancestry in
common with any other branch in the repository -- if my understand of
your famous picture is correct. It effectively is a
"repository" within the repository -- essentially, files are
_duplicated_ as opposed to being shared. For me, that explains the
sudden surge.
