Ok, good to know.

That is ok if you produce a deployment artefact, e.g. with jenkins. But there 
is either a bitbucket:// _or_ a gitfiletree:// url in the baseline.

It works without sub-directory. With it throws an error

'Git error: Cloning into ''st''...
conq: invalid command syntax.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

Yes, that is my preferred way, too.

Ok, thanks, if the sub-directory stuff would work it would be ok to jump in. 
Maybe there is a way to tweak the url in the baseline. It would remove the need 
to install gitfiletree in a deployment artefact. We'll see.

Thanks again,

Norbert
