Hey all,

Avery Pennarun has suckered me into^W^W^Wasked me to submit his git-subtree tool for inclusion into mainline. Apparently there was some discussion about this at GitTogether.

I have a patch ready. It takes git-subtree from the current GitHub master, fixes the tests to use the standard git test harness and updates the build to recognize git-subtree.

How does the git community want the patch presented? Right now it's one monolithic thing. I understand that isn't ideal but I don't think incorporating the entire GitHub master history is necessarily the best idea either.

So I'm looking for some guidance.
Thanks!
