If you click on \"Add another repository\" -> \"Removable drive\", you get a bare repository. If you click on upper-right menu -> \"Add another local repository\" and enter a path, and tell it to combine the repositories, you get a synced non-bare repository, and potentially problems unmounting the drive since you now have 2 assistant daemons running. I have now added a further link to the nice removable drive path to that second UI path. """]]
