Both of these projects have their own email lists, those source trees
aren't maintained here:

http://groups.google.com/group/fricas-devel?hl=en

http://www.open-axiom.org/lists.html

If you look through the axiom-devel archives, there are extensive
discussions on that subject.  The forks were not made casually.  The
short version is that there are distinctly different and incompatible
goals being pursued.

For Axiom itself, git is rapidly becoming the tool of choice.  Other
forks will have different policies.

Axiom is in the process of re-organizing itself to refocus around the
original project goals, per Tim Daly's email.  I don't know if that
will involve a re-shuffling of the branch organization.

As for OpenAxiom and Fricas, those are separate projects and will have
their own decisions to make about tool choices and build trees.
