Re: [PATCH 0/3] nd/multiple-work-trees updates

Without having looked into this and nd/multiple-work-trees, but with 
"make multiple checkouts aware of each other" in mind: Could this 
mechanism be re-used to make alternates aware of each other, to mitigate 
the dangers of having  git gc  on an alternate remove objects that are 
used by a referencing repository?

Thanks

These patches are on top of what's in 'pu'. They add
--ignore-other-worktrees and make a note about current submodule
support status. I don't think submodule support is ready yet even
with Max Kirillov's series [1]. His 03/03 is already fixed in 'pu'
though, so only 01/03 and 02/03 are new.
