Shawn O. PearceOn one particular system I like to keep a cluster of bare Git repositories and spawn new-workdirs off of them. Since the bare repositories don't have working directories associated with them they don't have a .git/ subdirectory that hosts the repository we are linking to.
Using a bare repository as the backing repository for a workdir created by this script does require that the user delete core.bare from the repository's configuration file, so that Git auto-senses the bareness of a repository based on pathname information, and not based on the config file.
