Hi, There is a lot of information about extracting a directory from a git project. One thing I failed to find though is the following: I try to extract a directory. The result is fine, but there is a lot of history in the result from *before* the directory was added to the project. Why? How can I get rid of this? If you want to see yourself, I did: git clone git://www.swi-prolog.org/home/pl/git/pl-devel.git git clone pl-devel odbc cd odbc git filter-branch --subdirectory-filter packages/odbc --prune-empty --tag-name-filter cat -- --all Now use e.g. qgit to look at the history. As from 03/07/2002, when the packages/odbc directory was created, all looks just fine. Before though ...
