#Inspired by http://blog.neutrino.es/2012/git-copy-a-file-or-directory-from-another-repository-preserving-history/ | |
#Copy a file or directory out of a git repository, preserving history! | |

#0001-Add-new-theme-Gum.patch | |
#0002-Add-syntax-highlighting-for-Gum-theme.patch | |
#0003-Gum-Fix-tag-URLs-not-being-slugified-and-therefore-b.patch | |
#0004-Gum-Add-Disqus-support.patch | |
#0005-Gum-Use-article-title-as-the-title-of-the-generated-.patch | |
#0006-Gum-HTML-escape-tag-names-when-rendering-them.patch | |
#Usage: copy-git-file.sh /some/repo/interesting/thing /destination/patch/path | |
#todo, test $1 and $2 | |
DESTINATIONPATH=$2 | |
SOURCE=$1 #first arg to script, either file or dir | |
pushd $SOURCE | |
git format-patch -o $DESTINATIONPATH $(git log $SOURCE|grep ^commit|tail -1|awk '{print $2}')..HEAD $SOURCE | |
popd |
