Been there, done that, and the alligators ate my T-shirt so I have nothing to show. I recommend avoiding recommendations here. I think it's better to post various possibilities, describe their use cases, and limit recommendation to something implicit like reordering them in the wiki page. In the case of "git clone --shared" vs "git new-workdir", however, "git new-workdir" does something equivalent to "git clone --shared", and then does some other stuff too. I don't really see any reason not to do "clone --shared". Also, you can do both at the same time in different workspaces. Since their use cases are different, you might want to.
