Is there any other way for having multiple working dirs with one repository? Since git-new-workdir just uses soft links it should be possible to implement it natively in git. Maybe there some patches for this? I need it because I'm using FAT32 on my dual-boot computer to share data between windows and linux. Thanks, -- Piotr Krukowiecki
