You can have /usr/src/git/master, /usr/src/git/some-work-tree, etc, and /usr/src/git itself is not a git repository at all. That way /usr/src only has one git-related directory and no worktrees are nested. The only downside is if you work in master most of the time, you have to type "/master" more. I think this is what Duy suggested too, but you interpreted it as having /usr/src/git-master, /usr/src/git-some-work-tree etc? -- Mikael Magnusson -- 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
