I think it's a pitty to restrict yourself to _local_ filesystem. There are tons of cases where you have a fast, non-NFS, access to a machine and would like to host your repository there. That said, I suppose removing this restriction moves the solution from the category "quick and efficient hack" to something much harder. > A .gitlink'ed checkout has its own index+HEAD, but otherwise refers > back to the main repository for objects, refs, etc. Stupid question: why .gitlink, and not .git/link or so? This file is not versionned, I don't think it should be in the working tree. -- Matthieu - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
