Yes partly. I wanna to get via "git submodule add http://example.com/submodulex.git"; only data (commits & files) of master branch and avoid of downloading any other commits of other branches. But I dont want to lose ability to update master branch with new commits. And in best way dont lose the ability of uploading new branches into main server.
Yes i know, that this is little bit against git philosophy. But i can say, that i will have fully separate and full-sufficient part of main git repo with only master commits. Examples: So result should be after adding of module something like this: master branches of these two git repos will be identical, but non of commits of project1,project2 only couldn't be found on Local server. Main server: SubmoduleX (lets say 10MB of space) branches: master, project1, project2 Local server: SubmoduleX (lets say 4MB of space) branches: master 1) If i will make on Local server any changes i will be able to push that changes into master branch. Main server: SubmoduleX (lets say 10,2MB of space) branches: master(new commits recieved here), project1, project2 Local server: SubmoduleX (lets say 4,2MB of space) branches: master(new commits pushed from here) 2) If I will make new branch project3 .. i will be able push it on main server, and then update it. Main server: SubmoduleX (lets say 11MB of space) branches: master, project1, project2, project3 Local server: SubmoduleX (lets say 5MB of space) branches: master, project3 In both of these cases i still dont wanna get(fetch,pull) any commits of project1,project2 branches. Hope it makes more sense, than before. Thanks for any help. Nedvajz.
