What are the risks, assuming I won't delete the referenced repo which sits on the same partition of the same local disk as the new one? I prefer it to worktree because I often just do have master checked out in multiple directories and worktree would be unhappy about that... and the risk of accidentally deleting the base worktree are IMHO the same as the risk of deleting the referenced repo. Anything that I am missing? (In other words, do I know what I am doing? :-) Thanks, Martin
