question on "git subtree split"

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

I'm splitting the directories of one large repository into multiple repositories using "git subtree split". Everything is clear and understandable thanks to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/359424/detach-move-subdirectory-into-separate-git-repository#17864475
The new branch is created and contains exactly the expected commits.

But the oldest commit from the new branch is not connected to the initial (empty) commit of the repository.
Instead, it is a new parent-less commit.
This causes problems with some of the next operations that I need to perform as project cleanup, like squashing/re-ordering commits.

Is this intentional that the oldest commit of the new branch is parent-less?

Erwin
