Git: Moving Files from One Repository to Another

Following the instructions here I was able to successfully move files from one repository to another with the following notes:

  1. The GitHub command line tool could not be used
  2. The actual command sequence was
    1. git remote add repoa /e/proposal/gtprop3
    2. git pull –no-rebase repoa master
    3. git remote rm repoa
    4. lots of git mv to move things where I wanted
  3. If –no-commit was added and then things were moved before commit, sourcetree was unable to log across renames and showed a blank log
