Currently we have everything in one repository for our website, and are looking into splitting it up. The scale of one repository looks like it will be getting out of hand down the road. General layout at the moment: repos.git/Site1 repos.git/Site2 repos.git/Library/Ours repos.git/Library/3rdParty1 repos.git/Library/3rdParty2 repos.git/UnitTests/Ours repos.git/UnitTests/3rdParty1 repos.git/UnitTests/3rdParty2 Goals in splitting it up: - Allow each site to have a collection of libraries that are known to be working for it. Sometimes an update to shared library to fix site1 will break site2. - Allow a site to have only the needed libraries, to avoid bloating the site, and help in identifying unused code. One plan we started to go with was: Site1.git/ Site1.git/Library/Ours - submodule link to OurLib.git/Library/Ours Site1.git/Library/3rdParty1 - submodule link to 3rdParty1Lib.git/Library/3rdParty1 OurLib.git/Library/Ours OurLib.git/UnitTests/Ours OurLib.git/Library/3rdParty1 - submodule link to 3rdParty1Lib.git/Library/3rdParty1 3rdParty1Lib.git/Library/3rdParty1 3rdParty1Lib.git/UnitTests/3rdParty1 But found out that git submodule doesn't actually allow mapping a section of a git repository, so changed it to: Site1.git/ Site1.git/Library/Ours - symlink to submodule/OurLib/Library/Ours Site1.git/Library/3rdParty1 - symlink to submodule/3rdParty1Lib/Library/3rdParty1 Site1.git/submodule/OurLib - submodule OurLib.git Site1.git/submodule/3rdParty1Lib - submodule 3rdParty1Lib.git OurLib.git/Library/Ours OurLib.git/UnitTests/Ours OurLib.git/Library/3rdParty1 - symlink to submodule/3rdParty1Lib/Library/3rdParty1 OurLib.git/submodule/3rdParty1Lib - submodule 3rdParty1Lib.git 3rdParty1Lib.git/Library/3rdParty1 3rdParty1Lib.git/UnitTests/3rdParty1 The 3rd Party Lib is not all 3rd party anymore, as we have tweaked it to fit better in our setup. Additionally, the 3rd party library didn't come with unit tests. One of the unit tests we wrote for our use of the 3rd party ended up with a use of our library. Putting a submodule of OurLib into 3rdParty1Lib would create recursive submodules, which is not something we want. Is there a better way to organize this? -- 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
