Title Body

I have the following project setup: Solution A Project 1 (a lightweight component) Project 2 (contains a lot of files and depends on Project 1 ) Solution A is a single git repository. Then I created another solution and found that I could reuse and even update the functionality of Project 1 . So my second solution would probably look like this: Solution B Project 1 (must be shared!) Project 3 (depends on Project 1 ). Now I want Project 1 to become a shared component. That is, every time I change the source code of Project 1 from either solution ( A or B ), I need the other one to update accordingly. Maybe this has something to do the the submodule feature of git . However, the only way I was able to use it is to specify the whole Solution A as a submodule for Solution B . This is not really what I want ideally due to enormous size of Solution A . I only need a tiny part of it to be a submodule. I know that it's possible in svn and works exactly as I've described: you specify a directory within an external repository in the svn:externals property. Any tips on that? Or maybe, I'm missing something?
