title: how to create a new git repository from an existing one
body: <p>I have a remote git repository that really replaced everything we had in another older SCM. Many projects and products have been added to the repository over the years.</p>
  
  <p>There is a branch in this repo, corresponding to a product that I am interested in. 
  I want to make a brand new git repository from this branch only, not really concerned about loss of history. </p>
  
  <p>Is git remote add the solution?  I want for both of these repositories to be on the same server.</p>
  
  <p>Thoughts?</p>
