Subject: Subtree merging of sub-directories between repositories?
Date: Sat, 1 Aug 2009 23:37:01 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2729632a0908012337l6d84ba76o81239d324ba11cf2@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Is it possible to use the subtree merge strategy to import just one
directory from a repository into a directory of a different
repository? The subtree merge example describes bringing in an entire
repository as a directory, but I'm not sure how to adapt that to just
import part of the source repository. The repositories are completely
different, but repository A has a couple directories I want to import
into repository B (along with the history that affected those
directories). I may also make changes on either side and it would be
nice to be able to re-merge in either direction.

I was thinking I might need something like the git-subtree script, but
maybe this can be done with standard git commands?
