[Cialug] Version control splitting repository & migration

[Prescott Kulow]

I am not sure how to split up a Git repository, but I've done it with an 
SVN one before.  Basically, what you want to do is create a svndump of 
the repository and then use svndumpfilter to filter out the paths you 
want/don't want, and then load these dumps into a new repo.

This looks to document it fairly well:

Then use whatever tool you are using to convert the repo to Git.

I'd personally stick with SVN, but to each his own I guess.
