By "shared repository" do you mean you have just one copy of the working 
files?  I thought you had multiple copies, one for each branch.  That's 
what I do, as it helps 'make' go faster.

No, the repository is shared:

$ time git clone master tmp
Cloning into 'tmp'...
done.

real    0m1.314s
user    0m0.997s
sys    0m0.280s
$ du -s master/.git tmp/.git
