Excuse me butting in... I'm just a little confused.
Not that this is anything new, I'm just ... well, confused.

My understanding is that git was developed as the SCM for the kernel
project.
A quick check in an arbitary untouched kernel in /usr/src/ suggests a
file [1] count of 25300.
Assuming that my figure isn't out by an order of magnitude, how does the
kernel team get along with git and 25k files but it is deathly slow for
our 30k?
Or, to phrase the question better... what are they doing that allows
them to manage?

Daniel
