Subject: 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.
