Hello, I've a desire to put a sub-tree of my working tree into another file-system. With CVS I've used symlink to achieve this. It works fine with CVS as it doesn't care about directories and symlinks at all. I had little hope it will work with GIT, but I've performed a test anyway. To my surprise it almost worked, so I have a hope that maybe it's not that difficult to support this. What do you think? Or maybe there is a different way to achieve the goal with GIT?
I needed to do this in Cygwin, and saw the same behaviour. I worked around it by using cygwin's "mount" command to "mount" the other directory in Cygwin's namespace. With this done, cygwin does not detect a symlink (since there is none), and works as expected.
With sufficient permissions, you can probably achieve the same effect with bind mounts perhaps (assuming Linux, of course).
