Perhaps that's because few people manage different dimensions of the same site via different masters, as you do. In any event, I think you can achieve your objective of relying on a single repository / branch per environment with stock Puppet, like so: - Each master has a *distinct* environment path - Each environment directory contains an environment.conf file that gives an *absolute* path to a manifest directory located elsewhere. - The manifest directories referenced by your environment configuration files are arranged however is convenient for you. Perhaps, for instance, the actual manifest directories would have paths such as /etc/puppet/shared-environment/production/puppet1 and /etc/puppet/shared-environment/production/puppet2, such that you could do a single git pull per environment, as you want. In fact, you could even arrange to be able to do a single git pull for all environments at the same time. - Other bits that you want to share across masters but not between distinct environments (modules, for instance), could go directly in /etc/puppet/shared-environment/whatever, referenced, again, by absolute paths. If recording absolute paths in environment.conf files dissatisfies you, then you could use put symlinks in the per-master environment directories to direct relative paths into the shared master environment directory. Although that may not be ideal, it would accomplish your main objectives, as I understand them.
