Just checking here, but you are aware that the person who specifically likes the current process for managing the linux kernel sources is also the person who designed and implemented git, right? As in, Linus wrote git because he wanted a tool for managing sources exactly the way he wanted to do it. Is it any surprise that he has no desire to move away from that workflow?

Yes, I am aware of that, but I'm also aware that this is an ancient workflow. Git was released before I even used a computer for the first time.

I think it's natural for workflows to change overtime.
