That could be interesting. For those using git trees, the better way is to use
	make -C linux DIR=<git dir>

This needs to be done just once, as it will store some info at linux/.linked_dir.
It will basically store there the directory with the git tree, and the hashes of
the original, media_build original copy and media_build copy after patched. Every
time someone tries to compile, it re-checks the hashes and re-copy the file from
the git tree, if needed.
