Thanks for the reply.
In my work environment both the SDK and the original files are available
(in an enclosing directory).
--SDK_content
|
SDK_subproj1-- ...
| |
| content
|
SDK_subproj2- ...
| |
| content
|
SDK_subprojN- ...
| |
| content
|
Working_SDK ... (under git, baseline generated from subproj1..N)
|
content derived from subproj1..N
What I had in mind was something I could run over, say, SDK_content
(alternatively, from within Working_SDK, referring back to SDK_content)
which would note the changed files in Working_SDK and locate the
original files in SDK_subproj1..N letting me merge the changes back.
