It did produce two workflows: the original "build time" by A Large Angry SCM/Gitzilla, which I think is/will be available at http://git.rsbx.net/Notes/Git_Subprojects.txt and second using linked objects and refs. Both I think not quite finished; perhaps some of the code could be put in 'pu'.

Perhaps to be added to Subpro.txt in 'todo' branch, and/or to git wiki...

I thing it can increase number of reflog users.

Should be git-split-hierarchy or git-split-by-directory I think. We could have also git-split-history, which would split current history into archive repository, and active repository with archive repository grafted in; or add to archive repository if it exists, regraft active (current work) repository and prune below new grafts.

It is "done once" problem, and usable only for some repositories, so perhaps this is the cause of not many responses.
