I think the easiest way to do this is with git-clone. First, grab the entire repository: $ git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/gnulib Then create your topic clone, which shares as much repository information as possible with the original, but can reside on a different branch: $ git clone -l -s -n gnulib gnulib-modified $ cd gnulib-modified && git checkout -b modified > - Does someone have a tutorial how to work with git in this setting? http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitFaq may prove helpful. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
