worktree equivalent about jj HOT 2 CLOSED

Yes, that's actually already kind of supported if you use the Git backend. For example, you can set up a Git repo with two addition working copies managed by jj by doing something like this:

git init git && (cd git && echo a > file && git add file; git ci -m initial)
jj init --git-store=git jj1
jj init --git-store=git jj2

There's issue #13 about adding more native support for it. The support described above means that each jj1 and jj2 has its own view of which anonymous heads and branches there are in the repo, for example. You can still check out any commit from either directory, but I want to make them share the set of heads and branches (and the history in the "operation log"). I plan to make it so you can see in the jj log output where each working copy's checkout is.

What's your use case? Do you have an existing Git repo and want to try using jj in a new working copy?

I just closed issue #13, meaning that the native support for multiple working copies is now done. See my comment at the end to read about how it works.
