Hi,

[please do not top post.  Only keep the parts of the original message that 
you are responding to, and put your answers just below.  It is a matter of 
simple economy: it takes you just a couple of minutes, but spares those 
"millions" of readers the minutes to understand what you're talking about.  
In addition, it is a matter of politeness.]

You are talking as if your partial checkout was a project in its own 
right.  Then make it so.  Do not use a partial checkout, but make that a 
submodule.

One reason _not_ to support partial checkouts is exactly to avoid people 
falling into that mousetrap of thinking that they can sensibly merge 
_parts_ of the HEAD.
