Swapnil,
I gather this is what people want but this cannot be done with git and
maintain history. To do this, we would have to "cp oldrepo/files to
newrepo/files" and the git history would be lost. That is why choosing
two repositories up front is irreversible.
On the other hand: If you start with one and want to split later, you can
use git-filter to create a copy of the repo with just the kubernetes files
in it and set up a new repository with that content. So, you would keep the
history...
Andreas, could you also not do the reverse with two separate
repositories and merge them to preserve the history using subtree
merging [1]? If I'm not correct, I'm sure repository merging can be
done somehow as Linus merged gitk into git years ago with history
preservation. So really, I don't think git history should be part of
this discussion.

Since we don't use git directly but gerrit, the question is what is
possible there - and I'm not aware of any workflow for this,
Andreas
