Git merge two repositories (ZZ)

转自  https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2428137/how-to-rebase-one-git-repository-onto-another-one

If A and B are not the same repo (you created B by using the latest working copy you had), you have to use a graft to pretend that they have common history.

Let’s assume you’ve added A as a remote for B as per VonC’s answer, and the repo looks like this¹:

~/B$ git tnylog
*  (HEAD, master) Latest work on B
* 799d6ae Imported backup from USB stick
~/B$ git tnylog A/master
* 33b5b16 (A/master) Head of A
*  Initial commit

Create a graft telling the root of B that its parent is the head of A:

echo '799d6aeb41095a8469d0a12167de8b45db02459c 33b5b16dde3af6f5592c2ca6a1a51d2e97357060' \
 >> .git/info/grafts

Now the two histories above will appear as one when you request the history for B. Making the graft permanent is a simple git filter-branch with no arguments. After the filter-branch, though, you aren’t on any branch, so you should git branch -D master; git checkout -b master.
