I have a project which is now on github which came from CVS and consists of a 
large number of packages which were originally managed via the CVS system for 
grouping them. The move to github created multiple repositories, and currently 
I'm manually scanning each for changes, but it WOULD be nice to be able to do 
some of the things I was doing over 10 years ago! Sync would give me a list of 
all of the changes and I could simply accept a set of updates for a package, or 
block them, or merge with my own local changes. It strikes me that since each IS 
a separate git repository, then it should be possible to support the higher 
level and still push back. Currently I just do each manually!
