Not true at all! There is excellent support in git for surgically
extracting the commit history of a subfolder and all of its source code. I
do this all the time when I recover dying things from the hands of
oblivion. It involves a call to "git filter-branch".

uh off the top of my head, this looks close:

Anyway, I don't have a strong opinion either way, just don't write off the
option for technical reasons :-).
