I think that --subdirectry-filter needs to become a bit smarter to be
really useful for splitting a big project into sub-projects plus a
super-project. The reason is that once you have extracted the
sub-project(s), you have a hard time to find out which commits to
gitlink into the super-project. I don't have a plan how to make it
smarter, though.
