As we are not cooks and git is not a kitchen, one must take issue with your “literally.” Be wary of ever qualifying an idiom that way, as they are so often prepackaged metaphors, as here! But your point is otherwise an insight. Coordination is a (the?) salient challenge and opportunity in all sorts of scaled industrial production. Git itself is fundamentally a coordination tool. Small optimizations can enable OOM jumps in scale. That is to say: managers do have a purpose, though perhaps only the platonic, spherical manager fulfills it adequately.
