Just "git pull" from the other repo, which will include all of its
history. If you want to pretend that the other history contains just a
subset of the true history, use "git filter-branch" to rewrite it first.

If you are rewriting the history, you can rename the files as you see
fit. There is even an example of this in "git help filter-branch".
