+EXAMPLE 2
+---------
+Suppose you have a source directory with many files and
+subdirectories, and you want to extract the lib directory to its own
+git project. Here's a short way to do it:
+
+First, make the new repository wherever you want:
+       <go to the new location>
+       git init --bare
+
+Back in your original directory:
+       git subtree split --prefix=lib --annotate="(split)" -b split
+
+Then push the new branch onto the new empty repository:
+        git push <new-repo> split:master
