Really remove a file ?

Hi,





I'm a new git user for some weeks or so and well i think git is awesome. I didn't read all the online docs and mans yet, but i'm already really impressed by it's power. Thanks everyone for this helpful tool.



Right now i think i need some help. I started to work for a project, and everything went fine. But I noticed someone placed a huge data file in the repository. This file shouldn't have been here at the first place. So I deleted it with git-rm. But that wasn't clever because now, "git log -p" or "git log -S'something'" are really really slow. Also diffs are huge and lots of command results are hard to read.



So is there a way to really remove a file in the git repository so that it never existed (I mean not having the diff in the logs and the data stored somewhere in the .git directory) ? Or if it's not the was git is supposed to be used, is there a way to hide the diff (even from git-log) or something ?





Thank you again,
