Can I split a Mercurial repository?

I have a Mercurial repository with multiple projects (when I started with Mercurial that seemed to be a good idea...).

Is it possible to convert the projects/folders t开发者_如何学Pythono new repositories with their history intact?

Thanks in advance.

You should be able to do it with ConvertExtension, converting from Mercurial to Mercurial.

From docs:

The filemap is a file that allows filtering and remapping of files and
directories. Each line can contain one of the following directives:

  include path/to/file-or-dir

  exclude path/to/file-or-dir

  rename path/to/source path/to/destination

I've had success with the following command line

hg convert ./OriginalRepo ./NewRepo --filemap fm.txt

where fm-txt would look like

include SubProjectFolderName

You might want to look into renaming that folder to not be a sub-folder in the new repo. Haven't tried that myself though.
