That situation itself is serious architectural smell. If you cannot
refactor by making small, local changes and propagating those
outwards, you may have bigger problems that revision control.

Of course there are legacy systems and so on where you have no control
over this stuff, so don't read this as a personal criticism, just an
observation based on lessons learned from many mistakes that I've made
over the years. :)
