support mounting any branch as a directory
Will it be possible for gitfs to support mounting a branch as a directory?
Thinking of a case where a couple of developers are working on a single large repository. It would be nice if those developers can create directories reflecting their own branches, so they don't have to checkout branches and disturb the tree for other developers or replicate the repository altogether.
PS: Also, pardon me if its already supported. I read the docs, and couldn't find this.

For now, it doesn't support this feature, but it's a very requested one.
There is a workaround...you can mount gitfs with a specific branch, from a remote, and if you want multiple branches you can mount multiple gitfs instances, following different branches.
I don't know when we'll be able to support this feature and how, but maybe you can help ^_^
