The Linux kernel "every subsystem has its own git tree" thing is so annoying.
Especially when one file is plausibly associated with multiple subsystems and patches get routed through more than one.

I guess it probably works reasonably well for people who only ever touch stuff in the one subsystem they specialize in, but for anything else...
