The last time i visited this link it was dead (403), so I cloned it here from the latest snapshot in Archive.org's Wayback Machine https://web.archive.org/web/20170523131633/https://docs.basho.com/riak/kv/2.1.4/using/performance/open-files-limit/

| # First of all you need to have a clean clone of the source repository so we didn't screw the things up. | |
| git clone git://server.com/my-repo1.git | |
| # After that you need to do some preparations on the source repository, nuking all the entries except the folder you need to move. Use the following command | |
| git filter-branch --subdirectory-filter your_dir -- -- all | |
| # This will nuke all the other entries and their history, creating a clean git repository that contains only data and history from the directory you need. If you need to move several folders, you have to collect them in a single directory using the git mv command. |
