It isn't changing history, it is setting a subproject free to live it's own 
life. That's not an unusual situation, given that projects often grow and then 
divide.

So I detach a local repository, rename it, and continue with a new repository 
for the subproject. But it contains all of the history for the parent project, 
as does the parent project repository.  I can push that to a branch and close 
it in the detached repo, no big deal.  But it isn't ideal, especially if the 
original repo is large. 

Being able to detach based on a specific commit or branch would be nice (not 
essential, but nice).
