Having B as a remote looks like the most convenient choice if both
repositories have the same history as you can then play with the usual
git commands: diff, log, cherry-pick, etc.
Otherwise, you may either:
- make a new B as a Git fork of A so they share history (and fallback to
my answer above) ;
or
- play with 'format-patch' and 'am' to export/import (maybe customised)
commits.
