FWIW, I use git-subtree with hundreds of Emacs packages in order to include them into my dot-emacs repository on GitHub (so that I can always clone safely on other machines, even if those external repositories might someday become unavailable). So from experience using them heavily, I can say that it's not a hard thing to manage, as long as you never want to make local changes directly to the subtree. There is a way to get those "back upstream", but that's where all the real work is. Just using subtree to keep an external repo up-to-date within a local copy is trivial and easy. -- John Wiegley GPG fingerprint = 4710 CF98 AF9B 327B B80F http://newartisans.com 60E1 46C4 BD1A 7AC1 4BA2
