Subject: [PATCH] Documentation/git-filter-branch: Remove Useless Use of Plumbing
Date: Wed, 23 Jul 2008 00:24:35 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080722222418.15372.62190.stgit@localhost> (raw)
The example to remove file using index-filter uses git update-index
--remove where git rm --cached works as well.

A significantly faster version:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
-git filter-branch --index-filter 'git update-index --remove filename' HEAD
+git filter-branch --index-filter 'git rm --cached filename' HEAD

Now, you will get the rewritten history saved in HEAD.
