Proof of concept:
export GIT_WORK_TREE=.

git --git-dir=.git1 init git --git-dir=.git1 add view1-file git --git-dir=.git1 commit -m"view1 initial"

git --git-dir=.git2 init git --git-dir=.git2 add view1-file git --git-dir=.git2 commit -m"view2 initial"

git --git-dir=.git1 log git --git-dir=.git2 log
