It's seems this could be solved with tooling. Jack already proposed using git 
submodules. At work I'm solving the problem with a simple bash-script which 
loops over 10-20 repos to do a git pull/rebase/push on all of them. Yes, merge 
conflicts occur from time to time, but they would occur regardless of the 
number of repos involved.
