What you're missing is that the people to whom that description applies are mostly (a) experienced git users (who have their own workflows for git and don't need the workflow document to tell them how to suck eggs) or (b) "drive-by" contributors (who won't be doing much if any merging of stable to trunk, the primary use case for the multiple clone model). > It would be nice it it were possible to provide them with that. But providing choices and trying to give guidance as to which ones are efficient in the presence of conflicting definitions of "efficient" (nothing that involves frequent bootstrap is time-efficient!) adds complexity, a disservice to the intended audience (eg, Richard and Ken'ichi).
