I would kind of like to see "git poll" -- visit all remote branches,
fetching objects and tags into the local repository, so that I can
inspect changes off-line and merge, cherry-pick, etc. to my heart's
content.  That would fit the platform integrator's workflow nicely --
"git poll" into a tracking tree, do some merges there (such as
backporting a subsystem to a "stable" base kernel), then merge this
backport branch to each platform working copy and cherry-pick other
changes as necessary.

Cheers,
