Um, sorry - don't mind that, the suggestion was actually dedicated to
Thomas. I suggested that he kept a pure clone of your main repo
amongst the other repos, so that people can update their repos from a
local common source (to save space on the server). But now I see that
it only makes sense when working directly on the remote server, which
is not what one will typically do (though I did it yesterday). So
forget about this.
