Thanks for clarifying how the pristine copies work. Regarding the
working copy checkout savings, yes indeed on it only consolidating the
pristine area. In my case that alone is worthwhile savings. It may take
some experimenting to find the right mix of # of branches per checkout
for savings. (I don't need ALL branches, but was curious to see it on
a large sample size)
Also, thank you Mark for updating the release notes & creating the
issue!
