Right, I know, but my complaint is that I can't then turn that into a
directory hierarchy of .../man, .../html, .../todo that are all checked
out at the same time (there are obviously ways of playing with it, say
by setting GIT_DIR and doing a checkout in those directories, but then I
can't use git in the normal way).

The best I can come up with is having man, html, and todo repos pointing
to the one (now local) repo which contains everything. But then pushing
is a two-step process.
