[PATCH] D56550: Add recipes for migrating downstream branches of git mirrors

[James Y Knight via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

jyknight added a comment.

I think this complex task of migrating a downstream fork with important history should go into its own document, with just a reference here. It's very important for those few who need to do it, but I don't think it'll be something that a large number of people will need to do.

I would expect the *most common* case is just:

There's some outstanding uncommitted work in:

- an SVN checkout, or
- a git clone of the old separate repositories with one or more branches, or
- a git clone of the old monorepo with one or more branches

and I want to keep rebasing it onto master until I can get it committed.

These migration tools are rather scary and overkill for that sort of use.
