When I do it by hand (but I shouldn't have to do this by hand, git-clone-script should do it this way if that's the best and most efficient) I usually link the object directory then copy the rest of the stuff non-linked. I keep hoping git-clone-script is going to be a good way to clone two local trees. Is my hope misguided? :-) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
