I have a repository with 5 years worth of history, I only want to keep 1 year, so I want to purge the first 4 years. As it happens, the repository only has a single branch which should simplify the problem. Cheers, Geoff Russell P.S. Apologies, but I've asked this question before but didn't get an answer which I understood or which worked, so perhaps my description of the problem was faulty. This is a second attempt. -- 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
