Several Repositories I'm interested in, e.g. MINGW-PACKAGES@GITHUB,
contain multiple "products." Usually, I'm only interested in one or two.
I want to have a local repo with, e.g. iodbc from MinGW-Packages as
sub-moules. I don't even need to keep local content for many of the
other included products. But, I need to keep synchronized with the
upstream, so I don't want to destroy the meta-data that allows me to do
that.
It's not certain at this point that I will ever be invited to push what
I have done up the food chain. Maybe it will always be a private fork.
I've looked at Subtrees and Submodules in the ProGit book. I can see
how to use an existing submodule, but not how to isolate one out of a
larger body of code.
TIA
