BTW, I agree with you that the reversed history is a bit weird and confusing. I thought of a new method that would connect both histories while keeping a forward history:A separate orphan branch in normal order, starting at 1.0, which ends at 1.70. And then git allows merging orphan branches, so I can create a merge commit between both 1.70 commits, which of course is a no-op, but one that tells git where and how these branches join.
It was easy to reverse the history. After renaming the old prehistory branch to prehistory-backwards, and creating an orphan branch, and manually picking the first two commits to see how it works (thus the tail(1) invokation), it's automated as:
$ git log prehistory-backwards \
| grep ^commit \
| cut -f2 -d' ' \
| tail -n+3 \
| while read hash; do
git checkout $hash -- . \
&& git commit --reuse-message=$hash;
done;
And after the merge, we have something with which I'm quite happy: connected
forward histories.
Cheers,
Alex
