This is in progress at https://bitbucket.org/Google/narrowhg, but it's probably not ready enough that you should count on it being reliable.

Ah, but you want to produce a new history of part of the repo and push it as its own repo somewhere? Then convert is your best bet, because you're making a new repo, not merely working locally on a partial checkout.

(I'll make a mental note to try and differentiate these concepts in the narrowhg docs at some point.)
