I'm currently working on a git project( vwf - virtualworldframework ), and we need to get a couple of files from another repository( threes ).  We've forked threejs into our repository, but I need to be able to grab only those few files that I need.  I thought I wanted to do a sub-tree merge, but after reading about the -tree options, I don't think that is what I need to do.  Do I want to right a hook script to pull in those files?

TIA,
Scott
