I have a private GitHub repo (which I can't share here) cloned locally. I want to split a subfolder in this repo into a new subtree repo. I'm following these instructions Using Git subtrees for repository separation (under Splitting code into its own repository).
My specific command is:
> git subtree split -P .\plugins\rg-feed-client -b rg-feed-client
however it fails with exactly 24 "assertion failed" error messages that look like this:
1/ 26 (0)2/ 26 (1)assertion failed: [ plugins/rg-feed-client = .\plugins\rg-fee
3/ 26 (2)assertion failed: [ plugins/rg-feed-client = .\plugins\rg-feed-client ]
...
26/ 26 (25)assertion failed: [ plugins/rg-feed-client = .\plugins\rg-feed-client ]
If I try any other subfolder, the exact same happens. I have no idea what may be wrong here... HELP!
My repo has 2 remotes: origin, and a remote for an existing subtree that I added to my repo.
This was probably due to the backslashes in --prefix (I was running Windows back then.)
