Hi, I would like to have git clone respect GIT_DIR (and --git-dir) so I can clone multiple repos into the same working directory (I know there was another request for this[1]).
The pattern here is big projects that are modularized into multiple git repositories, but supposed to be overlaid over a common directory structure. I would like to be able to tell my users that they can simply do: git clone --git-dir=_/git/module1/.git module1-url git clone --git-dir=_/git/module2/.git module2-url which will overlay the files from both modules into the current directory, which from git's perspective is the work-tree for both modules.
