Subject: purging unwanted history
Date: Mon, 17 Nov 2008 10:56:23 +1030	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <93c3eada0811161626h69929cd7va3fa4007a2341bae@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I have a repository with 5 years worth of history, I only want to keep
1 year, so I want to purge the
first 4 years. As it happens, the repository only has a single branch
which should
simplify the problem.

Cheers,

Geoff Russell

P.S. Apologies, but I've asked this question before but didn't get an
answer which
I understood or which worked, so perhaps my description of the problem
was faulty. This
is a second attempt.
