It's very useful when your repos are a significant fraction of disk space.




Given that hard drives are in the terabytes range, which repos are you checking out in the 250+ GB ranges?

How many git users have this problem, really?


It was the primary repo at my job at the time. Decades of history, migrated from SVN. Probably some ill-advised large binary blobs committed at one point or another.

Surely it's a tiny fraction of git repos, if not users. But if it's a problem you have, worktrees are very useful.
