Hah, I missed git subtree. It's not mentioned on the main git man page in my distro (I know, I know, "what's a 'man page' grandad?") This sounds exactly right but doesn't work for me. When I run the subtree split my go1 branch still appears to have the full proton tree in it. Must be doing something wrong...
