I have some very large git repositories that serve mainly as archives,
and it would be nice to clear out the working directories for the
repositories I am not currently working with. I'm not trying to delete
the files from the repository, I just want free up space in idle
repositories.

After mothballing the repository with git-repack -a -d and git clean
-d -x, is there a convenient one-liner to empty the files out the
working directory?

Thanks,
Robin
