IMHO, this is a killer feature of GIT. From a CVS/SVN user point of
view, it has vendor branches done right. At work, we do that with
Moodle, Elgg, EPrints and GForge. And the list is growing. That's why
I'm working on the toolchain to make interop with CVS smooth so I can
land patches in  upstream projects where I have cvs access.
