Hi, I'm new to git and have a couple of novice questions. * Is it possible to only pull in a subtree from a repository. Moreover, is it possible to have a subtree based on another repository. For example, have a topdir directory with subdirs, s1, s2, s3 and s4. And then have say, s2 linked to a repository rs2 and s3 linked to rs3, so that one can update s2 and s3 from these other repositories but having the rest of the tree linked from a main repository. * Are there any tools for dumping out the contents of the git objects in the .git/objects directory. By dumping out, I mean an ascii representation of the data fields for the commit and tree objects in particular. I've written a simple small program to dump out the index entries (cache entries). I just want to see what is exactly stored in the .git binary files and how they change when I do various git operations. Thanks a bunch. --Tim - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
