Hi Andres & Brian,
	For #2 - I would use the verb 'clone' except of course the 'clone' I'm
talking about would be one that is identical, the same, with no
differences (not eg. missing a few limbs ;-)

	Clearly cp -lR is bad & evil and all that; but it yields exactly what I
need to effectively manage my local trees, multiple checkouts, and
different builds without burning the entire disk.

	Is there a blessed 'cp -lR' wrapper for git that is functionally
identical ? [ and I'm happy of course for some slow divergence, and loss
of efficiency as I pull more changes from time to time into each tree ].

What about git clone --reference=oldrepo ssh://upstream/ ?
