Hello,

Suppose I made a mistake in my repository. There is a file that should
never have been there. How do I delete this file from the entire
repository history? How do I add a file throughout the entire
repository history as if this later file had always been there?

Thank you,

Alex

Use "git filter-branch". The examples section of "git help
filter-branch" does the first part of what you're asking (and the second
part is fairly easy to extrapolate).
