Without having looked into this and nd/multiple-work-trees, but with "make multiple checkouts aware of each other" in mind: Could this mechanism be re-used to make alternates aware of each other, to mitigate the dangers of having git gc on an alternate remove objects that are used by a referencing repository?

Thanks
