filter-branch can be used to edit your repository if you accidentally added files
post-commit. That is why I included it in my original reply - you are free to read
the fine manuals that this team produces for more information on that and the

Our answers are provided as a courtesy. We are all volunteers, and I would ask
that you consider the possibility of treating the people who have spent time
in an attempt to answer your questions with a modicum of the same. Thank you.
