That’s because all the work originated in the krakjoe/phpdbg repo, even before it was pushed to
php-src.
Also, it contains code which makes it compatible with PHP 5.4+. If it’d be in the main repo, users
with lower PHP versions couldn’t use it at all.
By the way, phpdbg in PHP 7 isn’t handled by that repo anymore, it’s directly in master. But new
features will still have to be merged up (except if it are PHP 7-only features) as long as PHP 5
branch has still one active (non-sec-fixes-only) branch.
