This is part of the new subtree support that has just landed with
dirstate in bzr.dev. Its quite possible we will disable these commands
for 0.15, as the userspace for subtrees is rather... raw. That said, it
splits a tree into two trees, e.g. if you have a library you want to
turn into a separate project, split is the command to do that.
