You can very simply embed one "clothed" repository into another in GIT, like shown below project/.git project/subdir/ project/subdir/file project/subproject/ project/subproject/.git project/subproject/file ... It depends on circumstances if one wants files belonging to subdirectory be ignored by top repository. You would want to ignore .git/ directory, though. -- Jakub Narebski Warsaw, Poland ShadeHawk on #git - 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
