I used it, and so did Kohei - as a means to create cheap local
clones. There were a few glitches though all the time, e.g. Cloph a
few times complained about tinderbox breakages b/c of spurious tree
changes.
Not following the thread fully I'm not sure what this is about. I'm
guessing this is about git-new-workdir vs submodules.
To put it short, I got it to work, and so far I haven't seen any major
issues but some occasional oddities which I just dismiss for now.
I would personally not invest the time to properly fix it these days,
disks are cheapish and we don't have this load of different repos
anymore.
To me git-new-workdir is not about diskspace, but about avoiding the
hassle of managing multiple local repos. Keeping it in one local repo
make it easier to manage especially when I tend to cherry-pick between
branches quite a lot.
But let's not discuss on this as I'm sure that will lead us nowhere (as
git-new-workdir is something either you get and appreciate, or not at all).
