Most probably, "git submodules" is a way to go: https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/GitSubmoduleTutorial http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-submodule.html http://progit.org/book/ch6-6.html Alternatively, just check out B somewhere outside of A and then make dir3/dir31 a symlink to the work tree of B. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
