What you want to do is a --local clone, e.g.: git clone --local ~/FlightGear/build/SimGear/simgear.git It creates hard links between the (or some) .git/* files in the new and origin repositories. It only works if both are on the same file system. I'm not sure if the repositories continue to share (new) changes when these are fetched from upstream. If not you need to run git fetch or git pull in first the local origin repository and then in the clone(s) to propagate new changes.
