-		git merge -s subtree minidns master
+    git fetch minidns

     git remote add name url
-		git merge -s ours --no-commit name/branch
-		git read-tree --prefix=libs/name -u name/branch
-		git commit -m "Subtree merged in name"
+    git merge -s ours --no-commit name/branch
+    git read-tree --prefix=libs/name -u name/branch
