This is precisely the problem that submodules solve, much maligned though they are. It's essentially a dependency problem, and we have good answers for those.
Edit: Also I am fairly certain that the kernal experiences these kinds of issues, and is the flagship user of Git.
- skybrian 12y agoThe Linux kernel is tiny compared to a large company's need for source control. It easily fits on one machine. Think about what you'd need to put all the projects in an entire Linux distro in one source control system; that's more like the scale I'm talking about. Linus built a tool that suits his needs well but he's not working at the same scale.
