You probably don't want to symlink all the files in .git. You just want to symlink the objects subdirectory. This is the place where all the real data is and it would be the same for all local repositories. The other files list for example branches and tags and very important: the currently checked out branch. So if you want several local repositories with different branches checked out, you may not share these files. So in essence, you have one plain normal clone of the repository: git clone git://... fg-master For the other repositories, you could set them up like: # create a local clone (no download) git clone fg-master fg-whatever # copy the config of master so both use gitorious as remote cp fg-master/.git/config fg-whatever/.git/config # replace objects in the clone by the symlink rm -Rf fg-whatever/.git/objects ln -s fg-master fg-whatever/.git/objects Repeat these steps for all the branches you want to test. This gives you several local clones of the repository which can have different branches checked out and which share the meat of the repository data. You can work in them just like in any normal repository. Just do the usual git pull / git checkout / ... When you do git pull, git will download new objects and then merge the remote into the local branch. It should not matter in which branch you download the new objects since git does not change old ones. Just don't do any history changing like git rebase. > > ..you only do an e.g. "git branch 2.10 ;git checkout", Btw. the shortcut would be just: git checkout -b 2.10 creates the branch and checks it out.
