+NAME
+----
+git-subtree - add, merge, and split subprojects stored in subtrees
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'git subtree' add   --prefix=<prefix> <commit>
+'git subtree' merge --prefix=<prefix> <commit>
+'git subtree' pull  --prefix=<prefix> <repository> <refspec...>
+'git subtree' split --prefix=<prefix> <commit...>
+         
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+git subtree allows you to include an subproject in your
+own repository as a subdirectory, optionally including the
+subproject's entire history. For example, you could
+include the source code for a library as a subdirectory of your
+application.
+
+You can also extract the entire history of a subdirectory from
+your project and make it into a standalone project.  For
+example, if a library you made for one application ends up being
+useful elsewhere, you can extract its entire history and publish
+that as its own git repository, without accidentally
+intermingling the history of your application project.
+
+Most importantly, you can alternate back and forth between these
+two operations.  If the standalone library gets updated, you can
+automatically merge the changes into your project; if you
+update the library inside your project, you can "split" the
+changes back out again and merge them back into the library
+project.
+
+Unlike the 'git submodule' command, git subtree doesn't produce
+any special constructions (like .gitmodule files or gitlinks) in
+your repository, and doesn't require end-users of your
+repository to do anything special or to understand how subtrees
+work.  A subtree is just another subdirectory and can be
+committed to, branched, and merged along with your project in
+any way you want.
+
+In order to keep your commit messages clean, we recommend that
+people split their commits between the subtrees and the main
+project as much as possible.  That is, if you make a change that
+affects both the library and the main application, commit it in
+two pieces.  That way, when you split the library commits out
+later, their descriptions will still make sense.  But if this
+isn't important to you, it's not *necessary*.  git subtree will
+simply leave out the non-library-related parts of the commit
+when it splits it out into the subproject later.
+
+
+COMMANDS
+--------
+add::
+       Create the <prefix> subtree by importing its contents
+       from the given commit.  A new commit is created
+       automatically, joining the imported project's history
+       with your own.  With '--squash', imports only a single
+       commit from the subproject, rather than its entire
+       history.
+
+merge::
+       Merge recent changes up to <commit> into the <prefix>
+       subtree.  As with normal 'git merge', this doesn't
+       remove your own local changes; it just merges those
+       changes into the latest <commit>.  With '--squash',
+       creates only one commit that contains all the changes,
+       rather than merging in the entire history.
+
+       If you use '--squash', the merge direction doesn't
+       always have to be forward; you can use this command to
+       go back in time from v2.5 to v2.4, for example.  If your
+       merge introduces a conflict, you can resolve it in the
+       usual ways.
+       
+pull::
+       Exactly like 'merge', but parallels 'git pull' in that
+       it fetches the given commit from the specified remote
+       repository.
+
+split::
+       Extract a new, synthetic project history from the
+       history of the <prefix> subtree.  The new history
+       includes only the commits (including merges) that
+       affected <prefix>, and each of those commits now has the
+       contents of <prefix> at the root of the project instead
+       of in a subdirectory.  Thus, the newly created history
+       is suitable for export as a separate git repository.
+       
+       After splitting successfully, a single commit id is
+       printed to stdout.  This corresponds to the HEAD of the
+       newly created tree, which you can manipulate however you
+       want.
+       
+       Repeated splits of exactly the same history are
+       guaranteed to be identical (ie. to produce the same
+       commit ids).  Because of this, if you add new commits
+       and then re-split, the new commits will be attached as
+       commits on top of the history you generated last time,
+       so 'git merge' and friends will work as expected.
+       
+       Note that if you use '--squash' when you merge, you
+       should usually not just '--rejoin' when you split.
+
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+-q::
+--quiet::
+       Suppress unnecessary output messages on stderr.
+
+-d::
+--debug::
+       Produce even more unnecessary output messages on stderr.
+
+--prefix=<prefix>::
+       Specify the path in the repository to the subtree you
+       want to manipulate.  This option is currently mandatory
+       for all commands.
+
+
+OPTIONS FOR add, merge, AND pull
+--------------------------------
+--squash::
+       Instead of merging the entire history from the subtree
+       project, produce only a single commit that contains all
+       the differences you want to merge, and then merge that
+       new commit into your project.
+
+       Using this option helps to reduce log clutter. People
+       rarely want to see every change that happened between
+       v1.0 and v1.1 of the library they're using, since none of the
+       interim versions were ever included in their application.
+       
+       Using '--squash' also helps avoid problems when the same
+       subproject is included multiple times in the same
+       project, or is removed and then re-added.  In such a
+       case, it doesn't make sense to combine the histories
+       anyway, since it's unclear which part of the history
+       belongs to which subtree.
+       
+       Furthermore, with '--squash', you can switch back and
+       forth between different versions of a subtree, rather
+       than strictly forward.  'git subtree merge --squash'
+       always adjusts the subtree to match the exactly
+       specified commit, even if getting to that commit would
+       require undoing some changes that were added earlier.
+       
+       Whether or not you use '--squash', changes made in your
+       local repository remain intact and can be later split
+       and send upstream to the subproject.
+
+
+OPTIONS FOR split
+-----------------
+--annotate=<annotation>::
+       When generating synthetic history, add <annotation> as a
+       prefix to each commit message.  Since we're creating new
+       commits with the same commit message, but possibly
+       different content, from the original commits, this can help
+       to differentiate them and avoid confusion.
+       
+       Whenever you split, you need to use the same
+       <annotation>, or else you don't have a guarantee that
+       the new re-created history will be identical to the old
+       one.  That will prevent merging from working correctly. 
+       git subtree tries to make it work anyway, particularly
+       if you use --rejoin, but it may not always be effective.
+
+-b <branch>::
+--branch=<branch>::
+       After generating the synthetic history, create a new
+       branch called <branch> that contains the new history. 
+       This is suitable for immediate pushing upstream. 
+       <branch> must not already exist.
+
+--ignore-joins::
+       If you use '--rejoin', git subtree attempts to optimize
+       its history reconstruction to generate only the new
+       commits since the last '--rejoin'.  '--ignore-join'
+       disables this behaviour, forcing it to regenerate the
+       entire history.  In a large project, this can take a
+       long time.
+
+--onto=<onto>::
+       If your subtree was originally imported using something
+       other than git subtree, its history may not match what
+       git subtree is expecting.  In that case, you can specify
+       the commit id <onto> that corresponds to the first
+       revision of the subproject's history that was imported
+       into your project, and git subtree will attempt to build
+       its history from there.
+       
+       If you used 'git subtree add', you should never need
+       this option.
+
+--rejoin::
+       After splitting, merge the newly created synthetic
+       history back into your main project.  That way, future
+       splits can search only the part of history that has
+       been added since the most recent --rejoin.
+       
+       If your split commits end up merged into the upstream
+       subproject, and then you want to get the latest upstream
+       version, this will allow git's merge algorithm to more
+       intelligently avoid conflicts (since it knows these
+       synthetic commits are already part of the upstream
+       repository).
+       
+       Unfortunately, using this option results in 'git log'
+       showing an extra copy of every new commit that was
+       created (the original, and the synthetic one).
+       
+       If you do all your merges with '--squash', don't use
+       '--rejoin' when you split, because you don't want the
+       subproject's history to be part of your project anyway.
