Comment (by walters):

Use case: Split off an archived branch (e.g. fedora 20 is EOL)

Let's say that we have a "production" repository an an "archive"
 repository.  We want to move fedora-atomic/f20/x86_64/docker-host from
 production to archive.

{{{
 # Copy *all* of the history of the f20 branch from production to archive
 ostree --repo=/path/to/archive pull-local --depth=-1 /path/to/production
 fedora-atomic/f20/x86_64/docker-host
 # Delete the branch from production
 ostree --repo=/path/to/production refs --delete fedora-atomic/f20/x86_64
 /docker-host
 # Prune leftover objects from production
 ostree --repo=path/to/production prune --refs-only

}}}
