Use a thin shell repository to manage guest repos?

[Todd Greer]

Peter, we've found guestrepos to also work quite well in a 'thick' non-shell top-level repository model. We tried the 'thin shell' approach (with subrepositories), and found that it did not match our needs well.

Paul, congratulations on making a tool that is flexible enough to work well, even outside the scenario it was designed for.

Peter, 

The 'thin' shell repository model is what guestrepos is designed for.
