Hi,

I would really like to have several repositories for an application to  
store the various design and development resources. A project  
directory typically has the following subdirectories:

project-name/
   artwork/      # logos, etc...
   mockups/      # mockups of application screens
   prototype/    # raw html and css
   application/  # the rails application

So for "project-name" I'd have repositories for artwork, mockups,  
etc... The problem with this approach on Github is that for one  
project it will consume 4 slots. If I do this for every project I'll  
bump over my current plan's repository limits rather quickly.

So I thought about storing these different subdirectories in git  
branches. This way I would have one repository with artwork, mockups,  
etc... branches. I have heard that some git projects do this. (For  
example, the git repository for git has a "docs" branch.)

This would work well for me, but I'd like to have the branches broken  
out into separate directories on my hardrive. This would allow me to  
run the prototype and the application concurrently and work on mockups  
in my graphics program.

Is there a way to do this without cloning the repository multiple  
times and switching to the correct branch in each directory? The  
downside of that approach is that with 4 subdirectories and lots of  
binary files, it will consume 8x the necessary disk space.
