Forgot one thing:
To separate the repository files from a checkout, a symlink is not
enough, as you lose the linkage when you move the checkout or the
repository; you could use an absolute symlink target, but that also
has inconveniences.

So you want some kind of smart linking. And this is another
important part of the .gitlink file proposal.
