Initially, it was a single file one, and that file contained database credentials. Later, I splat the project and put the credentials in another untracked file (.gitignore). When I want to publish this project, the history contains the initial file, with the credentials. I dont want to publish that. It's not a problem to definitely wipe the "single file" part of history of this project, but interesting to keep the history after the split&untracking. How to? Publishing will be through gitweb. Misaotra, Thanks, Merci. -- Architecte Informatique chez Blueline/Gulfsat: Administration Systeme, Recherche & Developpement +261 34 56 000 19
