Usage example: ./git-split-subfolder.sh -p git://repo.com/foo -services -s mysubfolder -b "branch1 branch2 branch3" The new repo 'mysubfolder' will be in the $CWD.
#!/bin/bash

cat << EOF
usage: $0 [options]
This script splits an existing folder inside of a git repo into its own
separate git repo, optionally preserving all existing tags and branches from the
parent repo.
