lightweight checkout outside repo directory
Asked by
Alok
It seems to me that when a branch or checkout is created in a shared repo, it must be within a sub-directory of the shared repo. Is it possible to have a shared repo on a server, and directly create a lightweight checkout from it on local machine without creating a local mirror carrying the entire history? The local machines now only carry the working tree together with a reference to the shared repo.
Better yet, is it possible to have the working tree locally together with just the last commit from the originating shared repo so that diffs and merges could be done locally without network traffic, while still not having the whole history locally?
