I have come to one of my main reasons for using git. I am creating an app which is being customzied for users.
The idea is that the main non UI code is constant, the same across all customized versions, but with the customized versions, the UI will will different, some options will be disabled etc, and some of the functions in the non UI libraries will never be called at all, although they will be there for consistency's sake. So after creating branch, how do I configure it to exclude some files from being merged or updated from the mainline version. In other words it will be akin to having the working directory made up files from 2 or more branches in the remote repositories, and pushes and pulls will know which files goes where or comes from. I am sure git probably allows this in its feature set, but I am yet to know the right configuration. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
