Hello,
I'm one of the developers of www.pyinstaller.org, a tool for
bundling/packagin Python scripts and al required modules into a single
executable for easy distribution. We are in the process of migrating
from Subversion to git.
Our SVN-Repo contains some stuff we do not want or do not need in the
git repo. How can we clean this up?
1) Useless commits e.g. tagging -> I want to remove these
2) copy or move mistakes -> I want to "correct" the copy
Example for 1): This occurs e.g. if this is done
svn cp trunk tags/v0.1 -m 'release v0.1' <<<--- this on in not needed
svn rm tags/v0.1 -m 'release v0.1'
svn cp trunk tags/v0.1 -m 'release v0.1'
In this case I want to completely eliminate the first commit.
Example for 2): This occurs e.g. if this is done
svn cp trunk tags/v0.1 -m 'release v0.1'
svn cp trunk tags/v0.1 -m 'release v0.1' <<-- actually copies to
tags/v0.1/trunk
In this case I want to change eliminate the first commit (this is he
same as case 1) and rewrite commit 2 to rewrite the path.
I already did some experiments with `git filter-branch` without success.
(I manage renaming the tags, though.)
Any hints how to to this clean-up?
