Grab a branch from a repo and add it to another repo

Pardon for this noob question but I got no idea on how to do it..

So, I have 2 repos - repoA and repoB How do I 'install' a branch called feature/for-repoB which was in repoA and add/merge it into repoB?

[please refer to comments]

simply 

git remote add <repoA>
git checkout <repoA/feature-for-repoB>
git merge <branch in repoB>

resolve conflict then git add, then commit

[old answer]

I think you are trying to merge two repos, A and B.

You can usegit checkout --orphan YourBranchName in repoB, to create a empty branch (feature/for-repoB). And add files from repoA into this branch.

Then merge them.

Please look at the --orphan option at http://git-scm.com/docs/git-checkout/1.7.3.1 and remember to backup your original repos.
