In the meantime, simply dropping in a symlink is a convenient shortcut
for individual developers (for example, I have a symlink at the
top-level from patches to .git/patches/origin to make accessing my
guilt patch stack more convenient).

I'd be entirely in favor of that.  It would require some pretty

folks.  That truly is something to raise at the kernel summit; if Linus
incinerates me, we'll know it's not going to happen...:)
