Is there some way to remove from the entire history a particular
file's content?  So for example I did an initial commit which
contained a file I didn't want in the commit and since then I've
committed further changes to the project, even started a branch to
experiment with some additional features.  I don't want to lose any of
my new commits or branch, just want to remove a particular file's
content from the entire history.

Thanks.
