That's actually "a single command", but a little complex. And there still
are some problems with this single command
1. each time is full checkout (not incremental), so bad performance for
large bin directory
2. I can't know deployment version easily and I can't use "git-log" to see
the log and to decide which version to back to when necessary.
I just find an ugly resolution:
1. git-clone host:project.git project
Cloned project is as follows (src, bin are subdir instead of submodule)
project
src
bin
.git
2. cd project && rm -rf src
3. when project.git changed, then
git-fetch && git-checkout origin/master bin
Unfortulately, it's annoying when I run git-status which complains "deleted:
src ". And "git-log" will not show the newest log since git-checkout doesn't
update the index file
So, the alternative for the 3rd step is
git-pull && rm src
It's so ugly!
Suggestion 1: how about adding a paths option for git-status just like
git-diff and git-log
Suggestion 2: how about changes the default paths for "git-diff", "git-log"
and so on from the "top dir with .git" to "the current dir"? So when I'm in
bin directory and run "git-log", it will only report log or diff in bin
directory.
