I think it'd be fine to introduce got if we have a simple wrapper to checkout (and maybe update) a repository in a git-compatible way so that one could easily migrate between the two. Something like: clone the repository to /usr/{src,ports}.git, checkout a worktree to /usr/{src,ports}, then add a git-style .git symlink to point back to the appropriate .git dir so that git recognizes it as a worktree. git itself can create an identical layout with `git clone --separate-git-dir=/usr/src.git ...` Thanks, Kyle Evanshome | help
