    As an aside, it's just silly to make the repository a bunch of checked-in patches. Git already does revision control. You don't need to do revision control in your revision control.

      I wanted everything in one repo and this worked well enough. For presenting to rust compiler team I forked the repos in question and made branches for review with the patches.

      Disagree. This was incredibly easy to test in a Bazel monorepo due to the ability to inject patch files into 3rd party dependencies (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bazel.build&#x2F;rules&#x2F;lib&#x2F;globals&#x2F;module#parameters-13" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bazel.build&#x2F;rules&#x2F;lib&#x2F;globals&#x2F;module#parameters-13).

        I would be very curious to know how that test went please!
