I try to checkout only a subdirectory from my local git-Repro because the Repro contains the server-code and the ui-code like this structure:

/[repro:branchname]
  /[ServiceCode(SelfhostedWCFService)]
  /[UI-Code(ASPX)]
  /...

and repro has branches.

Now i try to checkout ONLY the UI-Code (ASP.Net-Pages) to a different directory, run under IIS and make changes and the i will commit this changes to the branche.

In SVN i checkout the subdirectory, make my changes, commit and finish. How can i do this with git?

Remark: The git-Repro is an git-svn-clone from my company-repro with (for historical reasons) many subfolders and subprojects there are not seperate repros. The target subdirectory is a network-drive on a other machine so i can set links.
