All,

I'm a relative newcomer to git and I've just inherited a setup where all of the company's code is in a single git repository. Within this repository are multiple projects. It seems that git doesn't natively allow cloning/checking out of individual paths within the repo (ie projects), which would seem to make integrating git with a continuous build system rather difficult. That is, the build system has to clone the entire repo, and therefore a change to any project will result in the entire contents of the repo being built.

Correct....?
Doug.
