Actually I do not think we should remove the support completely. As
mentioned before I would like to discourage people from using
lightweight checkouts rather than break their workflows. Removing the
respective option from the new project wizard, adding warning to known
issues and possibly showing a warning when a lightweight checkout is
in use should do the job. In case of local filesystem, we can
encourage users to consider using shared repo and regular checkouts
instead of lightweight checkouts.

Cheers,
Piotr
