Is it possible to have 2 git repositories in one directory?  I&#39;d think not, but thought I&#39;d ask.  Basically, I&#39;d like to check in my home directory config files (e.g. .emacs) which should be common across all of the machines I work on, but have a second repository for local files (e.g. .emacs.local), which contains machine-specific configurations.  The only way I can think of to do that is to have the local config in a subdirectory and ignore that subdirectory from the main git repository.  Any other ideas?

Two git repositories in one directory?

I feel that using Git submodules is somehow troublesome for my development workflow. I&#39;ve heard about Git subtree and Gitslave. 

- Are there more tools out there for multiple repository projects and how do they compare ? 
- Can these tools run on Windows ?
