As subject, what is at present the best way to generate a git tree containing only a subset of commits from another tree. So I have /usr/src/my-big-tree and /usr/src/linux-2.6 and now I want to add some of the commits in my-big-tree to the tree linux-2.6 so I can push out to Linus. Preferable I would like to do it so that later when Linus has pulled from my /usr/src/linux-2.6 tree, I do a "git pull" of Linus' tree from /usr/src/my-big-tree and it all works correctly and I don't end up with the same commits twice. Is that possible at all? If not what can I do to do it cleanly? Does git help in any way or do I literally have to export all my commits from /usr/src/my-big-tree to diff style patches and then throw away the tree, clone Linus tree after he has pulled my /usr/src/linux-2.6 tree and commit all my generated diff patches again? That would be rather horrible to have to do... I am happy to be pointed to a FAQ or RTFM if you tell me where to look for it... Thanks a lot in advance! PS. Please keep me CC:-ed as I am not on the git mailing list any more.
