Wouldn't it do that automatically once a month?
The other space-saving function is "git-new-workdir". I think it's
"contrib" rather than installed by default, but it's a life-saver when
"git checkout" takes a bit too long (it takes maybe 5 seconds for me
to switch to another branch with my Emacs repository). It creates a
separate directory with just a different branch, while sharing the a
central (yet local) repository. Kind of like how Bazaar does it.
This saves a lot of space - and time: it's a excellent solution when
re-building takes a long time after switching branches.
