Cool. We had looked at doing it that way, but decided that we wanted to have the flexibility of accessing the entire repo so that we can run things like "./manage.py validate" and quick unit tests.

A leftover pdb.set_trace() that snuck into production is the exact reason we first added this :)

So wouldn't:

git checkout-index --prefix=../temp/ --all

work?

Absolutely. Stashing seemed like the cleaner choice to me, but either would work.
