Wow - that's a handy feature - why does nobody (but you) tell us about it ?

I had already switched to a workflow where one has clones lying all over 
the place (preferably in well-named directories like 
'work-on-feature-X-branch').

Up til now I only had to use git at work (and there I get paid for it, 
so don't complain too loudly).

Thanks !
