Hi,

> 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 ?

All Git branches *are* contained in the same GIT_DIR. I'm not sure
what your question is, but I suspect you don't understand how
branching works in Git. Please read up some introductory material on
this.
