Hi,

I found a way to do it, but I do not know whether it is the simplest.

In master branch, run "git cat-file -p" several times to find rack sub-tree sha. Then check-out branch "rack_branch", run "git read-tree sha". The sha is that one just get by "git cat-file -p". Finally, git-commit, git-push...

Cheers, Zhi
