I'd like to have the following setup: a ~david/git directory, where I am free to work on things, and a ~david/nightly-git, where a cron job is going build and test a nightly "next" branch. I'd like to share as much as possible between the two repos. My naive first attempt was to clone the local repo (~david/git) using -l and -s (which I admit I do not completely understand). This sort of worked, but one issue is that doing a "git pull" in nightly is going to pull from the *locally*-cloned repo, not from the main git. Another is that a checkout in nightly failed with the obscure error: [david@tashtego ~/git-nightly]% git checkout -b nightly-next next git checkout: updating paths is incompatible with switching branches/forcing Did you intend to checkout 'next' which can not be resolved as commit? I assume this is because too much state is being shared the repos, and something is unfinished in the "git" directory. I'd love some pointers on how to: * share as many objects as possible * share as little state as possible * make git pull pull from remote in both repos. Cheers, - David -- If I have not seen farther, it is because I have stood in the footsteps of giants. - 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
