However, I'd like to keep them separated, so my source depository doesn't grow too much. The problem could be solved nicely if there was a possibility to use .gitignore for the source tree and let say .gitignore2 for the extended tree. I'd use two depositories: .git and .git2. The content if .gitignore2 could be a subset of the content of .gitignore, so the extended tree would contain the sources as well, which is not really a problem. Or maybe I could make the depositories disjoint, I'm not sure now. Is something like this possible or is it too strange requirement?
