Colleagues, Is there an easy way to exclude a directory from a merge operation. Specifically: We have a "master" branch. We also have an "other" branch. There is a directory XYZ in the other branch which is not in the master. I need to merge everything but XYZ into master. Something like that: git checkout master git merge other --exclude XYZ Is that possible? Thank you!
