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?
