I have my repositories set up like this:
local repository (local) <-> bare backup repository (bkp)
My repository has several subfolders dir1, dir2, dir3, .., that I want to split up in separate repositories.
What I did was this:
cd ${local}
git annex drop --force dir1 dir2 dir3 ..
git filter-branch -f --index-filter 'git rm -f --cached -r --ignore-unmatch dir1 dir2 dir3 ..' --prune-empty -- --all
git reflog expire --expire=now --all && git gc --prune=now --aggressive
Now I'm left with the only directory that I want to keep. My plan would be to run
git annex get --from=bkp dirK
git annex copy --to=bkpK dirK
Repeat for dir1 .. dirN.
I know it's a lot of back and forth copying but apart from that are there any downsides with this approach?
Thank you!
