Can I copy a repo into another repo?

[Michael Dunkle]

We started setting up a project & a repo to track configuration files. We have decided to insert the files from one of the repos into one of our web projects located in another project & repo.

We would like to maintain the commit history of the repo (if possible) & merge it into the repo that we've setup under the other project. 

Is this possible? And if so, how would we accomplish it?

Thanks!
