Re: [Quantlib-dev] Reorganization of Git repository

[Luigi B. <lui...@gm...>]

It's possible, with the only caveat that git filter-branch is a destructive
operation so your local repo can be converted just once. It's ok if you
have just one module to convert, but you'll need more than one clone if you
want to convert several modules.
