Subject: Checking out a branch in another directory
Date: Fri, 3 Sep 2010 15:10:52 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <800379.5243.qm@web31805.mail.mud.yahoo.com> (raw)

I'd like to checkout a branch and work on it and so on, but *in another directory*.  I wasn't able to accomplish this with git clone, as I can see that refs/heads were NOT shared as also indicated by .git/config, local and/or shared.

Is there official tools to do this in master?

I basically want to eliminate having to do git-checkout <branch> and instead simply do a cd ../<branch>, but really have just a single history.

For the last 4 years, I've been using a home-brewed git-mkdir-of-branch.sh from a local branch, which basically creates a bunch of symlinks and then runs git-read-tree HEAD; git-checkout-index -u -q -f -a.
