But that gives me two separate repositories, so I have to push and
pull to keep them in sync, which is a pain.

I symlinked only the top-level things in .git, not the individual
files inside them.  That is to say, B/.git/objects is a symlink to
A/.git/objects, B/.git/refs is a symlink to A/.git/refs, etc.  In
fact, this is necessary for A to see objects and refs written through
B.
