Git pull certain files only

Question

It looks like someone has messed up the upstream box without branching (well done them) but I now need to do a software release of just one folder from that upstream. Any ideas how I do a pull of just that one folder from the upstream to the downstream git server for release without taking all the garbage stuff with it?

如果执行git fetch （而不是pull ），您将可以访问上游，并可以决定合并这些更改的内容/方式。
