Well, I got the chance to try out "git-merge -s recursive" to try to deal with the two different reorganized klibc repositories. I'm sad to report that it doesn't really work, and that every merge has to be propagated manually.

The two repos are at:

	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/klibc/klibc.git
	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/klibc/klibc-renamed.git
	
What I want is for a change to the first to propagate naturally to the 
second.
