"Yes", in the sense that's publicly reachable, but not really ready :) $ git clone --recursive git+ssh://git.debian.org/git/dex/NEW/web.git (notice the intended-bad url :)) It usees git "modules" (see gitmodules(5)) to achieve the desired result. It has some hackery though, like the symlink $project.mdwn to $project/index.page (so that the index page stays inside the project repository). I don't know if this is acceptable practice (I think yes), but it's the only thing I could think of as a quick hack. From tomorrow though, I can start working on it again :) The --recursive is needed to clone all the subprojects (only "ubuntu" ATM). The idea is that one can clone the whole repository (like above), or only its own project (like "git clone [..]/ubuntu.git"). I'll also write scripts to create projects, and add them to the "web.git" (which I'll probably call "main.git" in future), so that one "git pull"[1] makes the right thing. [1]: it's also possible that "git pull" wouldn't do the right thing, but a sequence of "git submodule <command>" would. In this case, I think I'll write a ./update-repo script, or kinda :) I hope the general idea is clearer now. Kindly, David -- . ''`.
