How to make askbot git repository and private customizations repository coexist?

edit

There is no need to put askbot and the bits of your site into the same repository even if you want to pull askbot from the repo.

For example - you can "pip-install" askbot into the virtual environment in the source form:

virtualenv env --no-site-packages
source env/bin/activate
pip install -e git+git://github.com/ASKBOT/askbot-devel.git#egg=askbot
askbot-setup #and continue as in the manual

This way you will get:

mysite/
    settings.py #and other project files
    env #with all the virtualenv files
        env/src/askbot-devel/

Now if you want to create a git repo for your deployment:

git init
echo env > .gitignore
git add .gitignore
git add settings.py __init__.py manage.py urls.py
git commit -m 'my initial commit'
#then you can add a remote repo and push to your main backup repository

Now you will have askbot inside the env/src in an independent repository, which will be ignored together with all the environment files from your site repo.
