Hi. Not sure if this wasn't mentioned on purpose, but git kinda sorta supports 
multiple checkouts, depending on how hard you want to stick to the definition.

First, there's the option of cloning the repository locally, which will result 
in two working copies you can work on independently. Maybe too independently, 
as each working copy has its own repo. If you want to see some structure there, 
you can keep one clone as a bare repo and consider it primary. Git should use 
hard links for local cloning, so the operation shouldn't be slower than with 
Fossil.

Second, there's git-new-workdir. I have not used it, but it seems to exist 
exactly for this use case.
