Minus the bare repository (I use my main repository) this is basically
what I do when I find I need to work on a different branch temporarily.
The difference is that I create my cloned directories on-demand and
remove them again once the work has been pushed upstream or integrated
wherever it is supposed to go.
While it isn't as formal a way to work as having one dedicated bare
repository, it is easy to do ad-hoc without prior setup. Yes,
ping-ponging changes through the main repository is a bit of a nuisance.
