Transplant branch from another repository

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

Say, I have two repositories A and B (local, independent, but similar
- they are for content tracking and not collaboration purposes). A has
a branch 'a', which I want to have in B. What I mean is that I'd like
to have the sequence of changes in the branch 'a' to be present in B,
thus creating an independent branch 'b' in B.

Is there any way to achieve this? One thing that I could think of is
to use 'format-patch' to generate the list of patch files from A. But
I don't see how to convert those patches to a sequence of commits in
repo B. I could do a 'git apply patches/*' but then all patches
collapse to one single commit. If format-patch is a/the way, could
somebody tell me how to get this done? Or are there any alternatives?

FWIW: I'm running Git under Cygwin, and sendmail isn't configured.

Thanks
Jeenu
