1 I just came across a tool that may solve my previous concerns about
2 losing history when moving from an overlay to the main tree:
3 git-stitch-repo
4 <http://search.cpan.org/~book/Git-FastExport-0.07/script/git-stitch-repo>.
5 It's not part of the main git distribution, it's a standalone script.

7 Using it is described in more detail in a blog post by Brandon Philips
