Hello all I'm a recent convert to Git, and like what I've got so far. Having said that, over the years I've come to apply a few hard-and-fast source and configuration management rules/processes that I know work (for me and in teams).
I can't find how to do what I need to do in Get (yet) and it is more efficient to ask the collective mind, since I've checked the obvious sources and FAQ-s, etc. At this stage, I'd like to know how-to (or is it possible) to structure branches such that non-conflicting work on branch-A is inherited by a daughter-branch (say branch-A.01)? Example: ---o---- master --- ... \ *--- A ---o---o-------- XX -- ... \ \ | \ \ V \ *--- 2 --XX--- ... \ | \ V *---- 1 --XX--- ... If I chagve XX in branch-A that change is 'automatically' in branch-A. 1 and branch-A.2. The need is clear I hope -- I want say all bug fixes in branch-A to be seen in A.2 as well. If anyont changes XX while working on the branch- A.2 then there's a conflict and you'd need to resolve it. Anyway what's the easiest (and minim of human action) that will work like that with Git? I recall we had a lot of c-shell scripts to make SCC-s do like this 'one time'. It is definitely worth doing. Because git is a configuration manager, it may not understand 'fine grain' stuff like inheriting files. Is there a way to link configurations or amalgamate them?
