EXAMPLE 1
---------
-Let's use the repository for the git source code as an example.
+Let's assume that you have a local repository that you would like
+to add an external vendor library to. In this case we will add the
+git-subtree repository as a subdirectory of your already existing
+git-extensions repository in ~/git-extensions/.
+
+First we need to fetch the remote objects
+ $ cd ~/git-extensions
+ $ git fetch git://github.com/apenwarr/git-subtree.git master
+
+'master' needs to be a valid remote ref and can be a different branch
+name
+
+Now we add the vendor library with
+ $ git subtree add --prefix=git-subtree --squash FETCH_HEAD
+
+You can omit the --squash flag, but doing so will increase the number
+of commits that are incldued in your local repository.
+
+We now have ~/git-extensions/git-subtree directory with the git-subtree
+subdirectory containing code from the master branch of
+git://github.com/apenwarr/git-subtree.git
+
+EXAMPLE 2
+---------
+Let's use the repository for the git source code as an example.
First, get your own copy of the git.git repository:
$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git test-git
git log gitweb-latest..$(git subtree split --prefix=gitweb)

+EXAMPLE 3
---------
Suppose you have a source directory with many files and
subdirectories, and you want to extract the lib directory to its own
