Git subtrees are ideal for\nthis task: I first\n\n * create a branch with the contents of only one subfoldergit subtree\nsplit -P <name-of-folder> -b <name-of-new-branch>\n\nand then\n\n * pull this branch into another repository.\n\nFor a transitional phase, I would like to have the subprojects\nread-only and sync them from master. The question is how to organize\nthis. For every commit to master, I could of course perform the above\nprocedure repeatedly for all subprojects, but this seems less then\nideal since it does all the work all over again.\n\nIs there a way to merge master into the subtree branches?\n\nCheers,\nNico\n"}]}
