Subject: removing content from git history
Date: Wed, 21 Feb 2007 09:45:27 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070221164527.GA8513@ginosko.local> (raw)
I assume that this question has already been addressed on the mailing
list, but I wasn't able to find anything about it in the archives.
Is it possible to remove content entirely from git's history? I have a
client who does not use git for version control. A couple months ago
they committed some sensitive client information which should never have
been committed. Recently, they realized the mistake and now want to
remove all traces of the mistake from history.
I would like to migrate them to git at some point. However, if they had
been using git for version control already, I'm not sure how I would
solved this particular problem. Any suggestions?
