Of course you can if you start the repo from scratch (no clone). But in this case you would loose the ability to synchronize repos. I guess this is not what you want. > This way I can have the entire source tree within my git-svn setup, > but I don't have to copy the entire source when I create a new repo on > git, and any new branches I would create. Well, branching is very very very space and time efficient in DVCS. Only differences between branches are recorded. If you have a clone of the entire repo IMHO you have no need to create a new repo for a sub-tree. Just * branch * edit * commit * switch between branches using git checkout * ... regards -- Antonio Valentino _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list gdal-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev
