git submodule looks like it will do a little of what I want - I'll do
some more reading on it to see exactly how it works. Thanks for the
tip.
My initial look at it seems to miss an important feature that my layer
idea would provide. It looks like git submodule assumes that
everything in a subdirectory belongs to a repository - with my layer
idea, I would want any layer to share the same directory structure and
files (or content) belonging to a distinct layer's repository.
IE:
the base might provide
plugins
plugins/README
modules
modules/README
lib/common.php
and a layer might provide
plugins/a.php
modules/a.php
lib/a.php
another layer might provide
plugins/b.php
modules/b.php
lib/b.php
If I was a C developer, I'd have a go at creating it - but I'm just a
php developer :)
