How do I track all files under the > directory as well? I think you're looking for the bind option of mount. This is what I use to track all my configuration files in one "conf" repository. Here is an extract of how my fstab looks like: /home/nicolas/.zsh /home/nicolas/dev/conf/zsh auto bind,user 0 0 /home/nicolas/.vim /home/nicolas/dev/conf/vim auto bind,user 0 0 /home/nicolas/.mutt /home/nicolas/dev/conf/mutt auto bind,user 0 0 /home/nicolas/.screen /home/nicolas/dev/conf/screen auto bind,user 0 0 /home/nicolas/.offlineimapconf/ /home/nicolas/dev/conf/offlineimap auto bind,user 0 0 I also use a symbolic link ~/.zshrc to .zsh/zshrc to track it too. This is very useful because one logical change may affect configuration files from various programs (e.g. have a new mailbox concerns mutt, offlineimap, imapfilter, and some other scripts of my own). Also, I use this trick for web projects: /home/nicolas/dev/wsb /var/www/localhost/htdocs/wsb auto bind,user 0 0 -- Nicolas Sebrecht -- 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
