A few months ago, I needed to rewrite a repo by moving it to a
subdirectory; I ended up (crudely) patching git-filter-branch to add a
--prefix option, doing the opposite of --subdirectory-filter.  I think
this could be useful to other people as well.

I'm attaging the diff for archeological purposes, in case this could be
of help to someone.  It's not a suitable patch, as I lazily removed
git-read-tree's "-m" option (which is incompatible with --prefix)
instead of properly adding yet another if() level.  It was a one-time
job, so I didn't strive for correctness.  :)

Hi,

How does this compare to the example from the man page?

	git filter-branch --index-filter \
		'git ls-files -s | sed "s-\t\"*-&newsubdir/-" |
			GIT_INDEX_FILE=$GIT_INDEX_FILE.new \
				git update-index --index-info &&
		 mv $GIT_INDEX_FILE.new $GIT_INDEX_FILE' HEAD

Thanks :)

Hmm, in that case, how about something like this patch?
