* how to delete from history some files, and commits with them? @ 2010-07-14 15:46 Tikhon Tarnavski 2010-07-14 16:15 ` Jonathan Nieder 0 siblings, 1 reply; 3+ messages in thread From: Tikhon Tarnavski @ 2010-07-14 15:46 UTC (permalink / raw) To: git Hello. I'm using git for several small projects, and now one of those pgojects have to be divided into two independent parts. So I want to divide git history respectively. I can create two clones and run filter-branch in both to delete files. But I can't find how I may delete empty commits after that. Naturally, I'd prefer to do all process automatically: removing unnecessary files and deleting empty commits without searching to its' hashes. Can you suggest any solution? ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

I was forced to use git 1.5.6 (by technical reasons) where this option is not available (and I didn't know about it). Now I can switch to 1.7 so I'll try it soon.
