Not following the thread fully I'm not sure what this is about.  I'm 
guessing this is about git-new-workdir vs submodules.

To put it short, I got it to work, and so far I haven't seen any major 
issues but some occasional oddities which I just dismiss for now.

To me git-new-workdir is not about diskspace, but about avoiding the 
hassle of managing multiple local repos.  Keeping it in one local repo 
make it easier to manage especially when I tend to cherry-pick between 
branches quite a lot.

But let's not discuss on this as I'm sure that will lead us nowhere (as 
git-new-workdir is something either you get and appreciate, or not at all).
