Just book up a little more, that's all.  Grep git(1) for GIT_DIR (this
is how you get a "checkout" in git, don't forget to use the -f flag to
git-checkout), GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY (this is how you get a "shared
repo" in git, just set it and forget it unless you need more than
one), and GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES (this is how you put
ancient history on DVD-ROM in git).  See also GIT_WORK_TREE (an
alternative way of producing a "checkout"), the --git-dir and
--work-tree options, and gitrepository-layout(1).

Note that Bazaar checkouts are way more powerful (obviously, git can't
handle remote or foreign repositories as a "checkout"), but I strongly
prefer the way git achieves shared repositories.
