I'd like to keep a local copy of the kernel repository mainly for searching the history. The working tree uses up nearly 400mb of disk space that I do not normally need. How can I remove the working tree, and keep only the packed repository so I can review the logs, and only check out a working copy if I actually want to edit or compile the sources?
