Do people actually *share* (as opposed to cloning) repos across
platforms? Ie, using localrepo rather than http/ssh/whatever? That
presumably involves NFS mounting the repo, or SMB or some such. Or
mounting the filesystem on different systems (e.g. a USB key). That
sounds less common than taking a local clone - or am I
misunderstanding here?
