Probably we would want to add a sentence before "To remove ...", like this: You can rewrite the commit log messages using `--commit-filter`. For example, `git-svn-id` strings in a repository created with `git-svn` can be cleaned up this way: > +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > +git filter-branch --commit-filter 'sed "/^git-svn-id:/d" |git commit-tree "$@"' > +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Please try to keep them a bit shorter for reviewing pleasure on 80-column terminals after your message was quoted once or perhaps a few times. The example is easier to read if you write like this, I think: ---------------------------------------------------------------- git filter-branch --commit-filter ' sed -e "/^git-svn-id:/d" | git commit-tree "$@" ' ---------------------------------------------------------------- I am not sure if git-svn people condone or encourage such removals, though. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
