It has been discussed under the name "gitlink", which was unfortunately also used for something else in the subtree implementation, but AFAIK, it has never been implemented. The closest equivalent is git-new-workdir, but it relies on symlinks, and shares a bit more than it should with the other repository (i.e. if you checkout the same branch is two workdirs, you're doomed). -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ -- 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
