AFAIK, you just need the one copy. You can switch views as much as you want. But it is very confusing, at least to my feeble brain, although I haven't done much work using git as a repository, so maybe it is just lack of experience. The other thing I've noticed is that git doesn't seem to do file timestamps properly - everything is marked with checkout time, not commit time. This is supposedly by design, but scores a -10 in my book. For me at least this is a showstopper. I don't want to have to use a repository viewer to know the date a file was last committed - I just want to see it in the file browser. When I get a moment I'm going to look at mercurial which seems to do more or less the same as git but marks files with the committed timestamp.
