Been there, done that, and the alligators ate my T-shirt so I have
nothing to show.  I recommend avoiding recommendations here.  I think
it's better to post various possibilities, describe their use cases,
and limit recommendation to something implicit like reordering them in
the wiki page.

In the case of "git clone --shared" vs "git new-workdir", however,
"git new-workdir" does something equivalent to "git clone --shared",
and then does some other stuff too.  I don't really see any reason not
to do "clone --shared".

Also, you can do both at the same time in different workspaces.  Since
their use cases are different, you might want to.
