Happy.  Sometimes it pays off to leave things that can be
improved as they are, mention just "we might want to do this
instead", and forget about it myself.  Somebody else comes in
and fixes it for me ;-).

If you have a local copy of Linus, Jeff and David trees, you
could arrange Jeff tree to borrow from Linus and David, and
David tree to borrow from Linus and Jeff.  I wonder what the new
code does when you add a new repository that borrows from Jeff
and David.  Does it borrow from Linus twice?  Four times?  Does
it stop without falling into endless recursion?  I did not do
this myself because I was lazy and did not want to address these
issues.
