I describe it this way: If C:\Branches\Foo and C:\Branches\Boo are two different repositories, then each of them can upload commits that have been made locally to the "master" repository on Github. If they are part of one repository, what you are asking is if you can create a commit locally out of the files in directory Foo (part of the working tree) and then upload that commit to Github. The central point is that what is uploaded and downloaded are *commits*. When a commit is moved, all of the objects that it references are copied as well (if they aren't already present in the destination repository). I believe that you can create a commit in a repository that only contains the changes made in a specific subdirectory. You do that by invoking "git-add" with a pathspec which is the directory. It may be more difficult to add it to a particular branch if it is not the normal case where the files in the working tree reflect the head of that branch.
