Each working directory would be associated with a particular branch/line of branches (think of two different hardware platforms that have considerable overlap). A complication to this is that I need to use git-svn as the remainder of the team uses svn (I just changed from cvs to svn last Jan so it is a hard sell to management to change again). I'm using git for the merge capabilities. I've looked at the "git for CVS users" section in the docs and this appears to create two repositories. Is there a way to have two working directories that utilize the same repository? I'm betting that I'm just trying to push my workflow style onto git instead of adapting to the git way of doing things; but thought I would ask. TIA, Bill PS. I'm trying to avoid the push in the commit, push, merge, dcommit cycle. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo! oneSearch: Finally, mobile search that gives answers, not web links. http://mobile.yahoo.com/mobileweb/onesearch?refer=1ONXIC
