Yeah, this is all a bit complex, and it takes a while to wrap your head
around it, but I have to say, once you do, the git-1.5.x layout really
*is* very powerful, and it's actually very natural too (but the "very
natural" part only comes after you have that "Aaahh!" moment!)
Aha, so, that's how it is then! Why hasn't anybody explained this to me
strait away?!:-))))
Because I and others have explained that to other people on the
list a few times already, perhaps? The list archive is your
friend.
.... There isn't a way to convert such a "old style" tree to the
"new style", is there?
That also can be found in the list archive. I think Shawn
Pearce wrote that script using contrib/remotes2config.sh from
the git.git project source tree.

Emn, sorry, that was supposed to be a joke...
In my original post I said something like "I know, this most probably has
been asked (many times) before, but since the questions are pretty
generic, I don't have a very good idea what to search archives for, but
any pointer to a thread in archive would be appreciated". I am greatful
somebody took his time to explain a couple of things to me even knowing I
will only understand a few percent strait away. And I am usually the first
one to point others to list archives:-) It is easy to search for isp1761,
but it is not so easy to search for "clone multiple trees reuse disk
space..."
I am greatful for any help and I can well understand those who decided not
to repeat what they've already explained a 100 times before.

Thanks, now this is easy to search!
Thanks
