Awesome. Learn something new everyday... I couldn't find any man page
about git-subtree either locally (v2.1.2) or on git-scm (am I the
only one?)
Oh, it appears that I was overly optimistic about `git subtree` being
available in the Git proper: I have `git subtree` available locally
(with its manual page) via the Debian Git 1.9.1 package.
It's still in contrib, just properly linked where applicable to be
instantly available. From [2], it seems that indeed `git subtree` is
still a contrib script. Sorry for the confusion.
Note that this shell script is just a convenience wrapper around stock
Git's capabilities of the so-called "subtree merging" [3].

Hi,
In addition, you can use either 'git replace' or git grafts to combine
the roots of the combined repo to create an extra base commit such that
they all appear to have a common root.
Grafts and replaced objects each have their own issues on exchanging the
amended repos, but can prove useful.
