It turned out that for my purpose I only needed some of the instructions
at that site.
It took me two tries, but on the second, these commands sufficed:
540 git clone git://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git perl4podhtml
541 cd perl4podhtml/
542 git remote rm origin
543 vi .git/config
544 git filter-branch --subdirectory-filter ext/Pod-Html/ -- --all
At this point, the top-level directory merely contained the directories
formerly found in ext/Pod-Html/. And 'git log' and 'git blame'
indicated that the history had been preserved. So I quit right there.
After the usual finagling and some renaming, I was able to put a
repository on github:
https://github.com/jkeenan/opodhtml
It currently has two branches: 'blead', which should represent the
state of ext/Pod-Html in Perl 5 blead as of today; 'master', which will
be my master branch for refactoring, adding tests, giving Pod-Html the
old Phalanx treatment.
Thank you very much.
