Subject: Merge git repositories
Date: Wed, 20 Feb 2008 17:59:01 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080220175901.71e7acc2@pc09.procura.nl> (raw)

I have a whole bunch of git repositories that are conversions from SCCS.
SCCS is a VCS that only deals with a single directory, and cannot cope
with directory hierarchies.

At first the move was received very positive, but now that people see
the strengths of a `real' VCS, it would be way more logical to combine
all the git repos that make up a single project into a single large repo
that includes all directories

SCCS

      .../top  /SCCS
               /foo    /SCCS
               /bar    /SCCS
                       /baz   /SCCS

=>
git

      .../top  /.git
               /foo    /.git
               /bar    /.git
                       /baz   /.git

=> ?

git

      .../top  /.git
               /foo
               /bar    /baz

is it possible to merge git repos from sub-folders into the current repo?
