Is it possible to create a branch for only some files of a module (all in one subdirectory) and still have the rest of the files in both branches?
Say, I have two subdirectories of a module, kernel and user-space, where kernel contains linux kernel modules and user-space contains user-space tools using these modules. Now I need a branch in the kernel subdirectory for porting from linux-2.4 to linux-2.6, where we will have lots of changes but the API to user space doesn't change. When I checkout the whole module I want the user space tools included in both branches (i.e. the trunk and the newly created branch) and I don't want to have to checkin all changes to user space into both branches. The same revisions of all files in user-space should be on both branches. When I create the new branch only for the files in the kernel subdirectory, the user space tools will be missing in the new branch. If I create the new branch also on all files in the user-space subdirectory I will have to checkin all changes to these files identically to both, the trunk and the new branch. Is there a way to avoid this? urs _______________________________________________ info-cvs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
