   How is Google so good at having the *worst* git webview ever, like it might as well be bare repos.

     Also can't even do redirections from like https://golang.org/x/sys/ to https://go.googlesource.com/sys when it's a git clone. (And of course the shit webview you're pointed to via the web https://cs.opensource.google/go/x/sys which tells you nothing about cloning through git).

     But well I'm not even sure why I bother, it's Google code so it's basically like proprietary software (due to the CLA and other Google crap), if it doesn't works either you you bin it or you mod it.

     @lanodan This is mostly an artifact of the fact that Google doesn't have good git repo management internally from what I can tell.

     There's a reason the joke for "how do I contribute to Chromium" is "well, the easiest path is to become a Google employee."

     I do know someone who did precisely that: Became a Google employee simply to shepherd a change through code review that had been outstanding for two years, get it merged and committed, and then **left** Google to go back to the literal sheep herding they had been doing previously as a full time job.
