Yes but each of these require an entire materialization of all files and assets which for some repos can be a non-trivial amount of waiting time and disk space when you are doing lots of things in parallel. You can also use worktree workflow in oak by cloning into separate spaces. This is sometimes ideal for even our own workflows depending on context, I personally do it often. Mount can be super advantageous in a lot of contexts and if you work at a certain scale, those margins of time savings matter. If you aren't hitting limitations with git - that is great for you and your workflow! Our general philosophy is that no one should feel limited by computers. We have been limited by git in certain contexts and are trying to solve our own problems and we have opened it up in the case it might be useful for others who have run into similar problems.
