Well than repo1, repo2 do not contain repo3 as a subrepo, it seems that
I understood it correctly. Moreover I have to push repo1, repo2 repo3, correct?

I see two problems:


    -  the soft links: if I share repo1 with a windows user, that
       approach might not work.

    -  suppose I want to share repo1 and repo3 with user1 but repo2 and
       repo3 with user2. Is that possible or do I have to share the
       shell repo with user 1 and user 2?
