Since no one else has responded to this yet, I'll add my probably useless comments... > I fiddled arround with git subtree, but I can't get it work. Does anybody > know, how I can merge the subdirectory vimfiles into my subdirectory vim?? Personally, I'm just using rsync (actually, there's an old Makefile.in in the vimfiles directory that includes "install", "stallin", and "sync" targets and is already configured for ~/.vim). I know more about hg than git. In hg, there is a "convert" that allows you to map changesets from one repo into changesets in another repo while also moving files into an alternate location (of course, this process destroys the original changeset ID, and so the id-to-id mapping is stored in a file in the target repo). I don't know how to do "convert" in git, but I have a feeling you aren't interested in that. [There's probably a better way to do what you're talking about doing even in Mercurial, but I happen to know about convert because I use it to create public versions of some of my private repositories with certain files/directories stripped from the change history.] It does appear like "git submodule" is what you would want to use, but I have no experience with using it. Have you tried posting to the git mailing list? It's very active. --Ted -- Ted Pavlic <te...@te...> |
