Hi,
I need to bring in changes from one git repository (say repo-A) to other(say repo-B) preferably preserving the commit history. The repo-A contains few initial bad-commit points - includes files that should have been ignored (e.g temporary files generated at runtime) and large number of files got committed in one go. Also, the repo-A and repo-B don't have any common commit point with common set of files. Is there any way to get commits from repo-A to repo-B? I tried git cherry-pick, but I am not able to preserve history after resolving conflicts.  Any comments or suggestions will be really helpful.

Thanks, Shantanu.
