Is' there any "git worktree" like command when I hope to use other xml as manifest?

[First Love]

Hi, all

I have two manifests, A and B. Some projects exist only in A or only in B, some projets exist in both A and B. git init -m A then git init -m B in different directories is a choice, but not the best, because it waste many disk space for these projects which exist in both A and B.

git have a command named "git worktree", it can make different branches stay in different directories, but share the same git object dir.

I wonder does repo have function like this to share git object dir between A and B?

you can do one way sharing with `repo init --reference ...`

otherwise, you could create a manifest that includes manifest A & manifest B, then do a --mirror of that, and then have your checkouts use that mirror as a --reference.  then when syncing, always sync the mirror checkout first.

Thanks, from the manual:

> The --reference option can be used to point to a directory that has the

content of a --mirror sync. This will make the working directory use as

much data as possible from the local reference directory when fetching

from the server. This will make the sync go a lot faster by reducing

data traffic on the network.

IIUC, I should do something like:

1. dir1: repo init -m A --mirror

2. dir2: repo init -m B --reference dir1

Is it right?
