Subject: Is there a way to trim old SHAs from a git tree (so it's not so large)?
Date: Wed, 15 Nov 2006 16:11:57 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <455B90AD.3060707@freescale.com> (raw)
After doing a "make mrproper" in my Linux git tree, the result is still 1.1GB
of files. Compare that with just the tarball, which is just one-forth the size.
Is there a way to "trim away" old commits from the repository, so that it just
doesn't take up that much space? I don't care about any commits made in 2005.
As long as I can still do "git pull" from the source repo to update mine,
that's good enough.
