Hi,
I've been using git successfully on a project and now I realize that I
want to expand the directories under git control. In particular, I
realized that I want to 'step one level back' and include the parent
directory of my current repo, so that the new repo will have the
current directory as a child, and all the sibling directories will
also become part of the repository. What is the easiest way to
accomplish this while maintiaining my repository history?
I'm pretty sure you can do this with git-subtree. You can find it on
github. The basic steps would be to create a new repo for the top-
level and then subtree-merge the existing history into a subdirectory.
Specifically, I have a directory 'abcd'. Under that I have 'models',
'forms', 'pages'. 'Currently only 'pages' is in git. Now I want
'abcd' and everything under it in git.
Thanks,
