Thanks. However, I cannot easily map this arrangement to what I had
in mind, namely, having a separate trunk and release branches, each
one having its working tree in a different directory. What am I
missing?
As for feature branches, I think relatively short-lived ones will be
better off in the same directory as the trunk, because they aren't
expected to diverge too much, so having them co-located actually makes
a lot of sense and saves time. (Since each build produces also a
numbered emacs-XX.YY.nn executable, it is at least in theory possible
to have several executables available at once.) By contrast, feature
branches that make deep changes and this diverge a lot from the trunk
are better kept in separate directories, like the release branch.

Doesn't --separate-git-dir solve that problem?
