That seems to work, thanks. I think this is a good idea anyway - it seems to mean that each working tree ends up with an empty set of .git/objects/* directories. When new work is done in a tree, the corresponding objects then appear, and only these objects need transferring upstream.

It means that rsync --delete-after can (in theory) be used when making changes available to the upstream maintainer.
