So you could have avoided the checkout completely, and done
git clone -l -s -n <a local linux repo> local
git branch v20 v2.6.20
git branch a v20
git branch b v20
git branch c v20
and now you'd have four branches that all point to the v20 thing, and none
of them are actually checked out. And all of that would have been
instantaneous, even on an old machine (apart fromt he clone itself, of
course ;)
Yes, this is exactly what I wanted, thank you. I'm only learning about "git
branch" (as opposed to git checkout -b) now and it didn't in fact occur to
me that I could specify that <start-point> although I should've noticed in
the manpage and certainly in Lars' reply from a few minutes back -- managed
to go into that and still not have it click.
Nothing left for me to desire...
