Hi,

How could I import some files from an unrelated git repo with history? And if I'd like to use different paths? Eg:

Say the other repo has these files:

lib/trees/rb_tree.{c,h}

and I want to import them into my repo as

include/rb_tree.h src/rb_tree.c

(In fact I just have a single file to import and I don't want to vary paths, yet I'm curious about this extended case, too.)

Thanks, Csaba
