How to import existing GIT repository into another?

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1683531/how-to-import-existing-git-repository-into-another

I have a (Windows) GIT repository in a folder called XXX, and I have second GIT repository called YYY.

I want to import the XXX repository into the YYY repository, add all XXX's change history to YYY, and renameXXX to ZZZ.

Folder structure before:

XXX

 |- .git

 |-  ZZZ

Folder structure after:

YYY
 |- .git  <-- This now contains the change history from XXX
 |-  ZZZ  <-- This was originally XXX
 |-  (other folders)

Probably the simplest way would be to pull the XXX stuff into a branch in YYY and the merge it into master:

In YYY:

git remote add other /path/to/XXX
git fetch other
git checkout -b ZZZ other/master
mkdir ZZZ
git mv stuff ZZZ/stuff             # as necessary
git checkout master                # should add ZZZ to master
git commit
git remote rm other
git push                           # if you have a remote, that is

I actually just tried this with a couple of my repos and it works. Unlike Jörg's answer it won't let you continue to use the other repo, but I don't think you specified that anyway.
