As for different trees, I'm afraid you've written something that is _too useful_ to be used in that manner. Git has brought with it a _major_ increase in my productivity because I can now easily share ~50 branches with 50 different kernel hackers, without spending all day running rsync. Suddenly my kernel development is a whole lot more _open_ to the world, with a single "./push". And it's awesome. That wasn't possible before with BitKeeper, just due to sheer network overhead of 50 trees. With BitKeeper, the _only_ thing that kernel hackers and users could get from me is a mush tree with everything merged into a big 'ALL' repository. So I'll continue to be the oddball, because more people can work in parallel with me that way. I'll just have to make sure the commit messages look right to you.
