Well said. Git was primarily designed to address deficiencies in other
source code management systems. It has excellent support for branching
and merging, which were a major pain point in Linux kernel development.
Git is simply not designed to handle package management duties.

If you're trying to deal with dependencies, SMP is better than anything else
that I've seen. If you have independent developers updating the same source
module, SMP is useless.
When the only tool in your toolkit is a pipe, everything looks like filter.
