Thanks.

Also, I don't know if git supports this right now, but I can imagine
situations where you'd want to have more than one index (and
associated working trees) sharing the exact same .git folder.

It is.  And I already mentioned it.  Note that it can make sense to work 
on an index only, without ever touching a working directory.

For example, I do that a lot when importing projects that use 
"tarball+patches" for version control.
