I'd like to stress that this solution would be very useful also to
me (if I have understood it), but for a different secenario:

I have a project where the WC must be under two diferent,
completely disjoint, local trees, in order for the local compiler
tools to work properly.

The solution for me would be to have only one repository with a
structure like this:

/repo/project/tree/main
/repo/project/tree/auxiliar

such as when I pull from /repo/project/tree, main goes to
/localA/main

but auxiliar goes to
/localB/auxiliar

This could work with the following-link solution (I think) if I set up
a link like this:

/localA/auxiliar -> /localB/auxiliar

Besides, pushing changes from /localB/auxiliar would go to
/repo/project/tree/auxiliar
