• This sounds like an "XY Problem" http://mywiki.wooledge.org/XyProblem So let's step back for a minute. What are you actually trying to achieve? Why are you doing it this way?

• I suspect that you are trying to achieve your goal in a way that doesn't work very well with git. Let's take a step back. What is it that you ultimately want to achieve by what you're trying to do now?
