So, I went ahead and did this $ git remote add -f vw_extensions git@xxxxxxxxxx:sibblingz/vw_extensions.git (1) $ git merge -s ours --no-commit vw_extensions/master (2) $ git read-tree --prefix=some/directory/vw_extensions -u vw_extensions/master (3) $ git commit -m "Merge B project as our subdirectory" And that all seems to work ok. Then, I went to another directory where i had vw_extensions cloned, and made a change to the README file, and pushed it. I went back to my first project, and did this, to try to pull those changes: git pull -s subtree vw_extensions master remote: Counting objects: 5, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (3/3), done. remote: Total 3 (delta 2), reused 0 (delta 0) Unpacking objects: 100% (3/3), done. >From git@xxxxxxxxxx:sibblingz/vw_extensions * branch master -> FETCH_HEAD Already uptodate! Merge made by subtree. However, when I looked at the README file in the first project, the changes weren't there. I was wondering if anyone might have any suggestions about what to do. Thanks!
