It's all fun and games until someone like me tries to run `find` on the parent directory...


Children would be lazily loaded and would not appear in directory listing of the parent directory. `find` would search your existing local checkouts only and the file system would still be POSIX.


How do you trigger loading the projects if there isn’t a pointer to them showing up in the file system?


When you open or stat a directory that doesn't exist, try to checkout that path, if that fails, return an ENOENT error?
