I realize that I'm late to the party, but I do wonder if the "one filesystem" mode shouldn't be the default, rather than be enabled by a config option? IOW, just switch the meaning of the config option the other way.

I suspect that it is _very_ unusual to have a source repo that crosses multiple filesystems, and the original reason for this patch-series seems to me to be likely to be more common than that multi-fs case. So having the logic go the other way would seem to match the common case, no?
