Hi,

I'm after a way to move some files with history from one branch to a new one or into a new repository at all.

Here's the why:

I have one repository for my smallest projects, from bigger script in batch, bash, awk, etc to small projects in java with like 2-3 classes or so. Nothing of that is worth getting a repository or even a branch of its own, since it comes down to just a couple of files and the overhead for managing a repository for everything of that would just bloat things up.

For example my main repository (scrapbook) has one branch for java projects (little ones) one branch for scripts and so on. The branch for scripts has several folders for each scripting-language, filesystem looks routhly like this:

fossil-root
- java
-- java proj 1
-- java proj 2
-- java proj 3
- scripts
-- bash
-- awk
-- batch

But as you know, time passes by and a small pet-project evolves, maybe theres a new usecase where the old code can be a good startup. Now theres one project between 50 small ones thats worthy beeing exportet to an own branch or maybe even a repository if it still gets bigger.

Is there a way to achive this or is the only way to just copy the files over and check into a new repository while loosing all history?

Thanks for reading

Oliver
