Subject: Merging only a subdirectory from one branch to the other
Message-ID: <CAHVO_90MQamw7oB8ry5YBEWSnRnxDZvQ4ApVuuv4AYR6VRuXSw@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

I've been Googling for this one and am, mostly, more confused than
when I started so if you could humor me for a moment.

I have a branch with a particular subdirectory tree. The tree has a
lot of history. However, all the history for that subdirectory is
exclusive to it (no commits changed anything outside it). I now need
to merge that subdirectory into a completely different branch without
loosing any history. I think git-read-tree might have something to do
with it but I don't understand the help file at all. Any help
appreciated.

Cheers....
