revisions in the repository, not in the branch directory. For branches
with shared history, this reduces the amount of storage needed and
speeds up the creation of new branches.</p>
<p>If the –no-trees option is given then the branches in the repository
will not have working trees by default. They will still exist as
directories on disk, but they will not have separate copies of the
files at a certain revision. This can be useful for repositories that
store branches which are interacted with through checkouts or remote
branches, such as on a server.</p>
