Subject: Sharing repositories later on
Date: Wed, 12 Jul 2006 15:28:00 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060712132800.GA7328@harddisk-recovery.com> (raw)
Hi,
I just learned out about "git clone -s" to share objects between
repositories. How do I use that with already existing repositories?
Right now I have a "linux-2.6" repository to track Linus's 2.6 kernel
tree and an "elinux-2.6" tree that pulls from linux-2.6 and holds my
own changes. I created a file .git/objects/info/alternates that
contains the line "/home/erik/git/linux-2.6/.git/objects". Now how do I
get rid of the "old" objects and packs without loosing my changes?
Erik
