$ git clone --shared /path/to/your/git/checkout 
/var/lib/sorcery/codex/devel.git
$ cd /var/lib/sorcery/codex/devel.git
$ git checkout devel

The --shared will make it always get its objects from the main repo you
have, so it won't cost you any extra disk.  To update it:

$ cd /var/lib/sorcery/codex/devel.git
$ git fetch; git pull . devel
