Actually, I don't understand why storing `worktree` in .git/modules/*/config is useful at all…. This may be related to my lack of clarity on the "why can't we have multiple working directories checked out at the same time" issue: On Tue, Oct 23, 2012 at 06:09:55PM -0400, W.

Can someone with a better feeling for why this won't work. Is is just that there's only one `.git/HEAD`? Cheers, Trevor -- This email may be signed or encrypted with GnuPG (http://www.gnupg.org).
