Sure, but how do you avoid a second fetch or pull (this is what
updates the branch head) if you have a 2d clone?  I'm assuming that is
the way to go for some workflows, specifically if you're working on
the release branch and the trunk a lot.  Otherwise, I'm all in favor
of a single repo with the branches of interest being colocated.
