Subject: Reuse .git directory.

Reuse .git directory.

I would like work 4 different branch simultaneously viz.

master, feature, bugfix, expt but would like to use same same GIT_DIR. Is this possible ? so that I can save some space ?

I have tried following 
* git clone /path/to/repos
* export GIT_DIR=/path/to/repos/.git
* mkdir ~/feature
* git checkout -b feature master

This step misses the files. Please advise me if such an approach is correct ?


Thx

Mahesh
