Unbelievable. Its working!!!!! Many thanks Thomas, you have been a great help
It is even working with a complexer directory structure. I think with one try it didn't detect the correct parents, but if I choose one of the parent commits to be the last commit in the old repo, where all contents have been deleted, it will still be detected during the fake merge. Maybe the only down side of this approach is that you have to specify git log --follow instead of just git log. but never the less great solution. For anyone in the future reading this and want to know which commits to use as parents and child in the graft point. I searched for the first commit in the new repository where hundreds of files have been added and considered this as parent1. Its child commit in the new repository is the child in the graft point. Finally I chose the commit in the old repository where the same hundreds of files have been removed. If no such commit exists (I also have this case), then choose the last commit in the old repo Maybe an even better approach would be to create a brand new merge commit to contain the files remove and add, and to replace the first commit in the new repository with this one.
