Your apps can live in separate repositories and make use of submodules (kinda like svn:external). It's a bit more setup, and it might be hard to do so as a "big transition at once" type of thing, but I highly doubt that you'll want to keep the central-repo layout as you go forward. You should note that I am speaking from ignorance here -- I've never been a fan of the single repo anyhow, and I haven't tried, nor would I try to use git like that. Someone else who knows more about that than I might come in and actually give you advice as to your desired setup, or just getting CruiseControl to play nice with it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
