One (SWI-Prolog) is under GIT, the other (YAP) is under CVS\nbut will move to git if this helps.\n\nWe want to start sharing some developments. I guess for each (unrelated)\nlibrary we wish to share we must create a git repo, right? Now we\ngenerally need compatibility patches to make this shared code run\non both systems and we need some way to get this code into the main\nrepo of both systems, such that a clone of the repo of a system gets\nyou the shared library.\n\nI guess GIT must be perfect for this, but I'm a bit unsure on the\nproper setup of the workflow.  Is there a project that has something\nsimilar established and has guidelines how to manage this?\n\n\tCheers --- Jan\n"}]}
