Git 2.5 handles multiple working copies, and its available now for Windows

Yesterday, I posted about tricks and scripts to support multiple working copies all using the same repository. Later in the day I realized Git for Windows 2.5 had been released. Now you can uninstall any previous distribution of Git, and install this. Any thing like GitExtensions or SourceTree will use it if you add Git to your path during installation. Then you can use the nifty worktree command to create new working copies that all point back to a single repository on your machine. This means native support for multiple working copies; no symbolic links necesssary.

  1. SourceTree has an embedded version of git you may have to manually switch to your system git
