Android needs repo, Chrome needs gclient. Neither work. What does that say about git?

Git is just plain wrong, because you can't split or merge repositories or pull subtrees of them. It doesn't have the kind of triggers you need to assert change control either, and these bolt-on scripts are just making life messy. Will somebody please finish git itself instead of working around it, or use a source control system that's up to the job.
Adrian.
PS: In both cases, I had problems pulling the code.
