[PostgreSQL-Hackers] moving development branch activity to new git repo

Here's a quick and easy way to move dev history to a new repo:

$ cd postgresql.old
$ git checkout yourbranch

# stream your commits into a "patch mailbox"
$ git format-patch --stdout master..HEAD > patches.mbox

# switch to the new repo
$ cd ../postgresql

# create a branch if not already
$ git checkout -b yourbranch

# apply the "patch mailbox"
$ git am ../postgresql.old/patches.mbox

That should do the trick. Your dev history will be kept.
