Having said that, the corner case is narrow enough (and
hopefully to be gone soon) that I think the current version is
perfectly acceptable for inclusion.

Linus, please apply.  What it does is useful to encourage the
"one topic, one tree" use pattern, the officially recommended

I am a bit puzzled, though, why Jeff was the original requestor
for this feature --- I thought he handles 50 heads in one
repository which means there is no multiple repositories to
relink across.
