Waiting until it's perfect before \nsubmitting it. As Voltaire said (I think), \"better is the enemy of good\".\n\nSpeaking from my own personal viewpoint, while I'm not a huge contributor to \ngit, I do fix the odd buglet here and there - and here's the rub - I only do \nit to those files that are in the git tree.\n\nWhile git-split is being maintained separately, I would argue that there are \nless eyes on it. Get it in, regardless of state, at the very least it will \nmean that git-split's development will be tracked as publicly as git.\n\n\nAndy\n-- \nDr Andy Parkins, M Eng (hons), MIET\nandyparkins@gmail.com\n"},{"id":"43739","messageId":"f3orsv$97l$1@sea.gmane.org","threadId":"8375","inReplyTo":"465EEF96.6050307@freedesktop.org","subject":"Re: Breaking up repositories","fromName":"Jakub Narebski","fromEmail":"jnareb@gmail.com","sentAt":"2007-06-01T10:25:29Z","receivedAt":"2007-06-01T10:25:29Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"jnareb@gmail.com","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/2706?v=4"},"body":"Josh Triplett wrote:\n> Jason Sewall wrote:\n\n>> I recently imported my subversion repo with git-svn and I'm curious\n>> what the best way to break up the monolithic repo (my many disparate\n>> projects from my single svn repo) into individual git repos of their\n>> own.\n> \n> In the specific case of git-svn, you can probably give git-svn the\n> appropriate paths to import each project separately; that may do what you\n> want, depending on your repository layout.\n> \n> In the general case, if you want to split a subtree of a git repo into a git\n> repo, you want git-split, by Jamey Sharp and I:\n> \n> From a copy of the git repo you want to split, just run \"git-split subdir\",\n> optionally with a newest and oldest commit, and it will output the sha1 of\n> the new top commit for use as the new branch ref.
