Another possibility is to use multiple work trees with a single repository; the git-new-workdir script in git's contrib directory helps set that up. It works by creating a .git directory with symlinks back to the original. You just have to be careful not to modify a branch in one work tree that's also checked out in another. (Easiest to avoid this by just not ever checking out the same branch twice.) http://repo.or.cz/w/git.git/blob/HEAD:/contrib/workdir/git-new-workdir Jeffrey -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
