Let's call them tree1 and tree2. Only a handful of files in tree2 are different. What is the best way to set this up in GIT? Basically most files in tree2 should act as a symbolic link to tree1. So if the file changes in tree 1, it automatically changes in tree 2. Obviously, I don't want to store everything double. Branching does not appear to be an option as changes in tree1 would not be visible in the tree2 branch. Any advise of how to set this up? Thanks in advance for your help.
