A thing i noticed too. If i experience build problems or not running stuff from time to time i fix code or build scripts i usually don't work on. Until now i just fixed the stuff and commited with a CCMAIL (or not if very easy and obvious). With amarok i stopped doing that because i consider it to much trouble. This is btw one of the things i really don't like about the git move. I use git-svn locally and prefer git to svn usage wise. But having to put up with cloning a myriad of repositories on gitorious, keeping them up to date which means uploading all that stuff i just downloaded to just commit a small one line fix in a build script is something i don't really look forward too. Currently i try to find someone in irc working on that stuff who would like to push it for me. Btw. Having one big git repository is in my opinion no solution. Git is meant to be used by splitting your code in as many repositories as possible. But it has not yet solved the problem how to handle those.
