Maybe I’m missing the joke, but in or out of kernel context is orthogonal to how the source code is stored.

The author is the same (Linus), so it makes sense that he would design a source control system that supported the monorepo he created over the prior 15-ish years.

Sure, but git does support multiple repos quite easily, and has support for submodules. It's grown a lot since when Linus first designed it.

"how the source code is stored" is what leads to "wow, the linux kernel is really big". Nobody's measuring kernel size by the number of resident pages it takes up.
