[git-users] can I make two local repos be identical, always, except for current branch?

[Huu Da Tran]

You want to have all remote branches to be always sync'ed but not your local 
branches? So basically, you want git fetch to update both clones?

I am not sure it makes sense speaking of current branch in two different repos 
and keeping non-current branches sync'ed.

[git-users] can I make two local repos be identical, always, except for current branch?

[Sam Roberts]

basically, I've got clones of some expensive-to-build projects
(node.js), and I have changes that I want to rebase/cherry-pick onto
dev and stable branches.

I know I can push to a remote, then pull into my other, and keep the
two on different branches so the builds don't get out of date. But, I
think I'd like it if they all just shared the same objects, branches,
etc...

Could I symlink together my
.git{branches,config,hoks,logs,objects,packed-refs,refs} directories?
Is this just going to kill me later?

Sam

p.s. Its not --reference I want, I'm using that already, but it
doesn't make my changes in one local clone automatically be present in
another local clone.
