Thanks for the reply - this looks like what I'd need, but I can't see how to keep the contents of the base dir and lose the subdirs, e.g. $ git-filter-branch --subdirectory-filter . HEAD removes all subdirs and the contents of the base dir. So, I figure I'd remove each subdir, using $ git-filter-branch --tree-filter 'rm -rf subdir1/' HEAD but this complains if subdir1 contains subdirectories, it says: Namespace refs/original/ not empty
It complains because filter-branch stores the original refs in that namespace, and on the second filter-branch run it wants to do this again. You can avoid this by using the "-f" option to filter-branch, or by removing all subsirs in one go ("rm -rf subdir1 subdir2..."). Also, you might want to rewrite all refs ("--all"), not just HEAD.
