I'm learning git and I'm really annoyed that the .git directory lives 
in the same directory as my code.  I don't want it there for three 
reasons:

The idea was discussed here, mostly under the name "gitlink".

It goes by "git worktree";

Any pointer to some doc? My git doesn't have a "worktree" command.

has nothing to do with gitlink (which has something to do with
submodules).

We may not be talking about the same gitlink then.

The one I'm refering to is "Lightweight Checkout
Otherwise known as the .gitlink idea." on
http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/SoC2007Ideas for example.

I was not talking about a command.  I prepended "git" only to stress that 
this worktree is not any worktree, but integrated into git.  I believe 
Bill has already given all necessary pointers.

Indeed.
