Git: Migrating subdir of existing repo into a new repo

Question

I have a project that contains many sub-folders at it's root. One of the folders really should have been put into it's own repository from the beginning. Is there a way to pull out the history for just that sub-folder and then put it into it's own repository?

Thanks,

Blake
