Thanks Konstantin for your response. repo1 and repo2 source code was downloaded in tarball format and the directories were copied to create myrepo which is privately being maintained as a git repo. I do not mind getting newer versions of repo1 and repo2 using git clone (so yes, they are maintained as git repos) or downloading the tarballs for latest source code. What would be a better option?
Was trying to create patches for relevant commits in repo1 and repo2 and apply them to myrepo, but to no avail. I am not sure if this is the right/feasible approach.. Let me know if you need any more info.. ~ Madhumita On Tuesday, November 29, 2016 at 1:35:18 PM UTC+5:30, Konstantin Khomoutov wrote: > > On Mon, 28 Nov 2016 23:03:38 -0800 (PST) > Madhumita Bharde <[email protected] <javascript:>> wrote: > > > A project I started working on involves changes to opensource git > > repos -* repo1 *and *repo2* > > So we have a private git repo say, *myrepo* created with older > > versions of both repo1 and repo2 (without corresponding .git > > directories, of course) > > How are those repo1 and repo2 codebases stored there? > Plain subdirectories originally obtained by unpacking upstream tarballs > or something like this?
