It works fine. Just tag into a new branch and delete the files you don't
want showing up there. Then do a sync-tree from the other branch. After
this you can star-merge between the trees without the deleted files
showing up in the public branch. When you merge in patches that touch
the "secret" files arch will leave directories around with the patches
it didn't manage to apply because the files were missing.

Oh, cool. Thats even better than the config approach.

Erik
Except that if you add a new "private" file to the "private" branch, you will have to delete it from the public branch after the next star-merge. and this each time you add one.

About your question to configs,AFAIK commiting in the root tree does not commit the subtrees.
