Julian Phillips 4f01748d51 contrib/workdir: add a simple script to create a working directory Add a simple script to create a working directory that uses symlinks to point at an exisiting repository. This allows having different branches in different working directories but all from the same repository. Based on a description from Junio of how he creates multiple working directories[1]. With the following caveat: "This risks confusion for an uninitiated if you update a ref that is checked out in another working tree, but modulo that caveat it works reasonably well."

Add a simple script to create a working directory that uses symlinks
to point at an exisiting repository.  This allows having different
branches in different working directories but all from the same
repository.

Based on a description from Junio of how he creates multiple working
directories[1].  With the following caveat:

"This risks confusion for an uninitiated if you update a ref that
is checked out in another working tree, but modulo that caveat
it works reasonably well."
