             Summary: Split flex-utilities.git into several project repos
                 Key: INFRA-8302
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-8302
             Project: Infrastructure
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: Git
            Reporter: Alex Harui


The flex-utilities repo originally came from SVN.  Being new to Git, we added other small projects to the repo and are now realizing that we should probably just have more repos with single projects in it.

I opened this issue first to track what our options are, if any, in splitting the repo.  We want to retain history for the files related to a project, but prune out files and history that are unrelated.

I see there is a 'git subtree split' option that requires git version 1.7.11.  One potentially complicating factor is that at the top-level of flex-utilities are 3 or folders that we want to move together into a single new repo.  It isn't clear that 'subtree split' supports that.  I suppose we could 'git mv' the folders into a top-level folder first.

We don't have the final list of what we want split yet.  We'll decide on that once we understand our options.

Thanks,
-Alex
