If I'm working on multiple directories on the same machine, I have libflcow in my LD_PRELOAD and use cp -al (GNU-specific) to make hardlink images of my working directory. I've been using fl-cow with cp -al since long before I used git. The new-ish git-new-workdir command could probably be a replacement for git-clone / flcow + cp -al / rsync in these situations as well. -- Eric Wong
