I take it back; it's possible to get the *space savings* by using
stacked branches. However, these have the same kind of properties
that (lightweight) checkouts do (you don't want to stack branches
you're going to be very actively working on on a branch somewhere
across the Internet). (In fact, I'm not at all sure of exactly how a
checkout and a stacked branch differ.)
But ISTR that Launchpad is moving toward stacked branches by default
-- this makes a lot of sense for branches in the same repo IIUC.
