What’s wrong with worktrees? To me that is exactly what mounting a branch would be. I use them a fair amount.

Edit: I see people bringing up lazy file checkouts in conjunction with mounting a branch. For some of the enormous repos people work in this makes sense to me.

I've heard of this before but never tried it: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Gitfs
