repositories

Hello,

I would like to deploy a directory to multiple developers having different permissions. So this is one thing Git cannot do. What about creating two repositories in one directory and assigning them different file lists by excluding files managed by the other repository with the .gitignore file.

Example: /www/project/.git for all files execpt in /www/project/css /www/project/css/.git -> only files in this directory

Has anyone tried this solution? Or are there any better ways to handle this issue?

Regards, Jakob
