Ok that made the --read-tree part work. But the log or whatchanged
commands doesn't gets me the history of changes with resepect to the
files added.  Now i remember this is in a way simillar to gitweb
history not shown. But then using the --full-history option with git
log also doesn't show the details of history with respect to the
files.

This is what i did

git fetch ./test2/
git read-tree --prefix=test2/ $(cat test2/.git/refs/heads/master)

Now if i look at .git/objects/ I can see commit objects with respect
to changes for test2/a
