You're in the right place.

"git subtree" is not a standard command in Git itself, but is contributed software in its contrib/ directory. Its manual should be readable on any machine that has git subtree installed, using "git help subtree". If you have HTML documentation installed (e.g. on Debian, if you have the git-doc package installed), then you can use "git help -w subtree" to view it.

Thanks and hope that helps, Jonathan
