This is a living document. Everything in this document is made in good faith of being accurate, but like I just said; we don't yet know everything about what's going on.
Update: I've disabled comments as of 2025-01-26 to avoid everyone having notifications for something a year on if someone wants to suggest a correction. Folks are free to email to suggest corrections still, of course.

| # First of all you need to have a clean clone of the source repository so we didn't screw the things up. | |
| git clone git://server.com/my-repo1.git | |
| # After that you need to do some preparations on the source repository, nuking all the entries except the folder you need to move. Use the following command | |
| git filter-branch --subdirectory-filter your_dir -- -- all | |
| # This will nuke all the other entries and their history, creating a clean git repository that contains only data and history from the directory you need. If you need to move several folders, you have to collect them in a single directory using the git mv command. |
