What about the Linux kernel? There's Linus's git repo, and lots of repos  
maintained by others (e.g. Linux distros). The other distros are not a  
superset of Linus's repo, they have their own branches with various  
project-specific patches and backports. Git was written for this  
specifically.

Then you're suggesting that the commit identifiers basically contain the  
clone history?
