First of all I would like to describe an environment that is related to my question (as simple as it could be).
- Android repo tool should be used to deal with 2 repositories
- git repository A contains a simple txt file, file.txt
- git repository B contains a patch for the file.txt from the A repository
I did a short research (xml schema of the repo manifest) edit: dead link should be: https://gerrit.googlesource.com/git-repo/+/master/docs/manifest-format.md
according to this document repo can:
- copy file (Element copyfile)
- create a symbolic link (Element linkfile)
- there are also remove project and include elements
Is there any way to:
- set a decency between the 2 repositories above
- apply a patch from the repository B to the text.txt file from repository A with the repo / repo sync command?
Maybe this requires some additional tools or adjustments that somehow skipped away from my attention.
Thank you for your help.
