[git-users] Is this possible with git

2009-09-23 Thread Simon

Hi all,
 I'm just starting to look at git after a long while away from version
control software (as a clue, the last thing I used in real anger was
sccs).

What I'd like to know if it is possible to achieve the following:

We use software that hosts multiple web sites that has a structure
like




/base --  /common_dir1
   \  \  \ /common_dir2
\  \   /site1
 \ /site2

What I'd like to do is to be able to setup a repository to track all
changes to /base, /common_dir1, /common_dir2  /site1 and another
seperate repository to track /base, /common_dir1, /common_dir2  /
site2.

Initially, I'd be looking at using local repositories but would
probably like to be able to clone the structures to remote machines
for backup, but I'm happy to jump straight to remote repositories if
needed.

I'd appreciate any advice anyone could give - from what I've seen
through google this might well involve submodules but I just can't get
them to work.

Thanks,
 Simon

 Works for me. Perhaps you should take it up with github.

Does 'git remote' show a list including origin?  If not, you have
managed to lose the named remote 'origin' pointing to where you cloned
from.  If it is there, are you able to clone again using the same
URL?  If no, you've got a problem on the other end.  If yes...  look
in .git/config for a section like this:

[remote origin]
url = ...
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

and make sure the url is correct, fetch is set to that (or something
else valid, if you know what you're doing), and there aren't any other
bizarre settings in that section.
