Once it's in the kernel, that will be the case. In the interim then I would assume we'd run our own git repo to make eventual merging with the kernel trivial? That then begs another question: since our kernel driver will have to be in git, where does that leave the userspace manager? That will probably have to be in git too to keep everything consistent, right?
