Creating a submodule and bringing history from the main project

Hello!

I have a big project, currently using GIT, and I wish to take some sudirectories -or libraries- and put them in a separate repo (and incorporate them via submodule support), so other commiters can have access to a specific part of the project only.

Is it possible to somehow export the history of say lib/componentX into a new repository componentX.git?

Thank you very much!

Sounds like you want to use "git filter-branch", see: http://progit.org/book/ch6-4.html#making_a_subdirectory_the_new_root
