Lately I'm trying to move a subdirectory from one project to another,
both tracked in git.

This directory is currently duplicated in two different projects and my
plan was to remove it from those and make a library so it could be
shared between them.

Now, the simple way would be get a scratchpad branch, prune everything
but what I want, push to the library repo, make the projects use it.

There is already a script that automates this task? There are any
pitfalls I'm not considering?
