Both my stable.git and my linus.git are bare repositories. No working
directory, as that would add a lot of unnecessary files and waste disk
space. You can't do a git checkout on a bare repository.

I also need the latest linus tree all the time. Unless your stable tree
has a branch from Linus's master, I will still need to directly get
Linus's tree.

Unfortunately it wont work due to the requirement that the repos be
bare.
