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?

Maybe --prune-empty can help.

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. Thank you very much.
