In fact, the reverse is true as well: It makes kvm-tool's sources larger. Instead on just cloning a small repository I need to clone the whole kernel repository, even though I'm not a kernel developer and don't intend to touch anything but tools/kvm. Not too bad for me as I have a kernel repository lying around anyway and I can share most of the content, but there are people who don't. Still, having an additional 1.2 GB repository just for ~1 MB in which I'm really interested doesn't make me too happy. And dealing with a huge repository also means that even git becomes slower (which means, I had to turn off some functionality for my shell prompt in this repo, as I didn't like waiting for much more than a second or two) Makes it a lot less hackable for me unless you want to restrict the set of potential developers to Linux kernel developers...
