Last week it has happened that one collegue erroneously commited one big file, 500Mb the file only. To avoid to have this file in the repository we've deleted the history file in the CVS repository, the one with ,v, this has been easy as each file has its own history. Would it be possible to do the same with git, or there's no possibility to delete a 500Mb file erroneously commited? Many thanks Best regards Bartolomeo
