We have upwards of 15 developers and there are upwards of 15 different
projects that make up an embedded linux product we are working on.  It
becomes too challenging to have 15x15  repos spread out.  So we have
15 projects on the server that developers push to / pull from.  Those
are the master and they work locally.  It's not perfect but with so
many projects with so many developers it seems the only way.
