Hi folks,


is it somehow possible to filter out certain files on rebase
operations. The problem is: I'm maintaining a lot of downstream
branches, where sometimes upstream leaves in autogenerated files
(eg. configure) which I want to get rid of. When I just remove
them by another commit, I'll get conflicts on next rebase.

You *could* with the "edit" option to interactive rebase and a custom
editor script, but this is the sort of thing git-filter-branch(1) is
for.

So I should run the upstream branch through git-filter-branch
before rebasing to it ?

Use a custom merge driver;

has a pretty detailed example.
