[chef] multiple cookbook paths and git

[Norbert Hartl < >]

Hi,

at the moment I'm doing an appliance that has two different parts. There is 
one cookbook hierarchy (base) in git and a second one (custom) that is based 
on the first one. So the first one is a common set of things to do and the 
second one a specific set. 

In the custom hierarchy I like to check out the recipes from git and use it 
then in the same run. Is this possible somehow? I know it might be hard 
because the checkout is to be done only the host system and not for the 
appliance. 

But I better ask before abandon the idea :)
