Message-ID: <29220205.post@talk.nabble.com> (raw)


I have a local git repository of a server project that I'd like to
distribute.  However, I don't want to distribute EVERY file in the
repository, but I *would* like to distribute the full set of changes for
those files I do plan to release.

I'm having some trouble figuring out how to do this.  I assumed I'd create a
new repository and then use git pull to merge the directories I want in my
distribution repository.  I can't seem to find a way to specify what files I
want though.

Let's say I had a repository called stuff, with directories a, b, and c.  I
want to make a distribution repository containing just a and b, but with
full histories so a "git pull" will sync from the stuff repository, but
ignore the "c" directory.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
