Usually you create branches within one repo and switch between them using git-checkout.
If you need to look at your work in the non-checked out branches you can use git-diff or
git-cat-file. There are some tricks to "check out" a source tree without an associated
repository, but if you really want to have more than one branch checked out, you can clone
your local repository...

It's extremely fast to switch between branches in git. Unfortunately it's not so fast
to rebuild frysk once you've switched :/ though git does take care to only modify files
that are different on the branches.

No, you should publish branches that contain work that you want others to check out but
which won't be checked into the master branch imminently.
