How to pull from a branch without updating

Asked by Alberto Luengo Cabanillas (Pexego)

Hi all! I was wondering how could I make pull from a remote branch without merging changes with my local copy. For example, in this folder "branch" there are three modules "a", "b", "c", and I'm interested in updating only "a" module to latest revision, leaving the other two modules in their current revision.
Is this posible or do I have to do it manually?
Thanks a lot in advance!

You could do this:

Create a separate local branch, into which you pull from the remote branch.

Then selectively merge changes from that for just the desired parts,
using either bzr merge or some other tool.

However, if you commonly want to evolve a, b, and c separately,
perhaps they should actually be in different branches.
