Hello,

I would appreciate some help or suggetions on this problem:

condensed version:
-----------------------------

A) a "big" repository with long history and a submodule
B) a "small" repo made recently from an export of repo A, except some 
files/folders and including the files from the submodule of A

how can I merge new commits (or cherrypick)?


more detailed:
-----------------------
repo A is a project with about 10 years of history (partially imported form 
svn) which I want to keep. This repo includes files for different 
customers/ applications.

Recently, I agreed to work on this project with a team of one customer in a 
shared git repository. Obviously, they must not be able to see private 
files belonging to other customers. And there was no need for them to see 
my 10ys of history.
So for a quick start, I just created a new repository with the files to be 
used. And to make things simpler (maybe more complicated now) I included 
the files from the submodule.

Now I want to link the two repos so that I can merge new commits between 
the two repos. 
(git remote starts with a "no common history" warning ... so maybe some 
merge -s ours magic should be applied ... ? But the difference in 
submodules makes me doubt that this will be easy)

To be sure not to import private object into B, merging one way B into A 
alone would be a helpful start. Ideally, I would to able to merge both ways.

Is this possible at all? Or should I prepare to juggle with patch files?

Thanks,
Matt
