Hi I'm trying to find a setup which allows me to interact with a writeprotected repository. Orig: This is a SVN repo which i cannot check out with git svn. Dunno why, but thats not the problem. I just create a new Git branch and check it out inside. After the merge, this repo can be deleted. Delta: This Git repo containes only files changed from Orig. This means that Delta containes a subset of files from Orig. The changes in Delta will have to be applied to Orig before compliling. So i have tried various approaches and killed/recreated my Git repo a fiew times already. All i really want to do is merge the files from Delta into Orig while keeping the changes of Delta. But since Delta is a subset of Orig, all files not included in Delta will get deleted. How i expected it to work: 1. create branch Orig and check out latest source from svn 2. merge files from Delta into orig but do not delete anything But with this all the files not present in Delta will be deleted in Orig. I guess i just don't understand how Git really works. But there are no tutorials for this specific situation. So what can i do? regards, Adrian Stern -- 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
