Re: [PATCHv2 1/2] Support multiple virtual repositories with a single object store and refs

I had to read the example call to understand that 'virtual repository' 
means 'one real catch-em-all repository'.

I wonder about two things, though:

1) Would teaching git clone to understand "-t this/repo/*" help?

Sure, that would be an improvement for our use case,...

Hmm, what does the "-t" option do?  Is there a side-band communication
between you guys that I am not seeing?  I didn't see anything to make me
say "Sure" or otherwise.

I had a feeling that you wanted to keep the illusion to the users that you
are serving multiple repositories independently, so a solution that does
not have to make "git clone" on the other side aware of the layout on your
server would probably be more preferrable to you anyway.

Well, I assumed that "git clone" would have adopted "git remote add"s -t 
option in the meantime.
