Huh?
Both LLVM and KDE are developed on *subversion* and as such their 
work-flows are not applicable. Not to mention that KDE is vastly 
different in concept and goals than a programming language.

Subversion is conceptually very different from git and its model 
imposes practical restrictions that are not relevant for git, 
mostly with regards to branches, merging, etc. Actions which are 
first class and trivial to accomplish in git. This is analogous 
to designing highways based on the speed properties of bicycles.
