[PATCH] Improved example "To move the whole tree into a subdirectory...".
From: Brett Randall <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 23:05:04
Previously this example would fail if the history contained any empty commit, because the index would not change, and the mv would fail with: mv: cannot stat <redacted>/index.new': No such file or directory The updated example checks whether the index file has been created before attempting the mv. The empty commit is retained. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7798142/error-combining-git-repositories-into-subdirs for an example and explanation.
