I'm now wanting to split that library into a separate git repository. I'm wondering what's the best way to go around this. Ideally I would=20 like to have: * all history on those library files be moved to the new repository. * all history on those library files be removed from the original=20 repository. or: * have the original repository library directory be "linked" to the ne= w=20 repository. --=20 Gonzalo Garramu=F1o =46ilm Aura A New Dawn in Media Companies gga@filmaura.com http://www.filmaura.com
