But if you read the original post carefully, all repositories involved are
under /home before the transition, and they will move to the exact same
place under /home anyway, so I do not think the discussion you have in
mind would apply to this case.

The only thing that is needed after the move would be to run

	git update-index --refresh

in all of the repositories, I think.
