The splitting of the repositories can be conducted using several means:

1) Filter branch, where the history is kept in each individual repository
2) Grafts, where the history is kept in the original repository, and
is attached by the developer when it is needed. This is how both Qt
and Frameworks did their 4 -> 5 splits I believe.

As for how either method is done, i'm afraid that is something i'm
unfamiliar with - someone on the list should know however.
Please ensure you have performed initial test splits, including
generation of the repositories before proceeding with any pushing of
repositories.

Cheers,
Ben
