I guess you need many FPC branches because you develop it, but you should not 
need them all built at the same time.
I don't see why you would need many Lazarus versions built at the same time.

I would say keep the branches in a local git repo, then checkout the one you 
need and build it. At least with lazarus it works perfectly. I may have 
experimets and new development in their own branches, I can jump between them 
and build the one I need. A fast machine builds them so quickly that I don't 
need to care about it. I can update the latest changes from SVN repo anytime 
and a minimum amount of network traffic is needed.
I think you know the concept.
SVN is good for a global server but maintaining local branches with it is a 
big pain.

I don't know the details of your FPC installation. It may be more complicated.
