So I haven't yet seen a way to import into a subdirectory. Not sure what you mean by "import" here... The obvious way is just to fetch the remote repository into a branch, and merge it the usual way. Perhaps that's what you mean. Anyways, as you are doing filter-branch anyways, it should be pretty easy to rewrite the paths while at it? (I can think of more sophisticated ways, not using filter-branch at all, and thus preserving the original commit IDs -- but for a one-time import of a dead code base that's probably not useful...) -antrik- _______________________________________________ Gnash-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnash-dev
