Since this uses cherry-pick, the changes that you want to apply have to be on branch1 already. Let's say your branch1 looks like: --A--B--C--D and branch2 looks like: --1--2--3--4 And you want to apply commits B and C on branch2, but they modify "foo_v1/" on branch1. You can tell git to apply the commits onto the directory "foo/" on branch2: git checkout branch2 # make sure you're on branch2 git cherry-pick -X subtree=foo B C # pick the commits If there's no conflict, the commits should apply cleanly, and your branch2 would become like: --1--2--3--4--B'--C' -- 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
