here's what I've done so far (note: this is a public repo if anyone
wants to take a look)
git clone git@github.com:xenoterracide/dot_usr.git sql_iabbr
cd sql_iabbr/
git checkout db3c5ffb180f10dde8e539a81a6644760e098dcd
git branch -D master
git checkout -b master
git filter-branch --subdirectory-filter vim/ftplugin/ -- --all
that leaves me with this
html sgml sh tex vim xhtml xml sql_iabbr.vim xml.vim
all I want left is sql_iabbr.vim and it's history
I've used stuff like
git filter-branch --tree-filter 'rm -rf xml.vim' HEAD
to remove the files... but I notice that leaves the logs.
I'm thinking I could do that and then remove those commits but I
haven't figured out how to remove the commits, and even then I'm not
sure the repo would be in the state I want.
can anyone help me get to where I want to be? also is there an easier
way to do what I've done so far?

So you just want the history for a single file?
git log -p --reverse --pretty=email -- sql_iabbr.vim
That outputs a patch history for sql_iabbr.vim in mbox format, you can
import that into an empty repo with git-am.
(I had a look at the project, the history is simple with no merges
etc, so nothing like --first-parent is needed)
Cheers,
Baz
