By the way, none of the repositories has to "own" the .git directory. This is
made much easier by Lars's new changes. All of the repos could contain a
.git symlink file which points to some other directory.

I'm not saying this would be the common case, just with the .git directory
not residing within _any_ of the repositories/work-dirs it really blurs any
difference between them. They would all be equals, even though some may have
been created _from_ the others. (if that makes sense)
