Rebase just reapplies the commits against a known starting point (usually a branch). If you just want to start with a clean slate, I'd just keep your git repository for reference and do and export and import to get a fresh, single commit "initial import" of your code. You'll always have your history, but everyone else will start from a clean slate. You should of course work from the new fresh repository too when making future changes etc. HTHs Col -- Colin Guthrie gmane(at)colin.guthr.ie http://colin.guthr.ie/ Day Job: Tribalogic Limited [http://www.tribalogic.net/] Open Source: Mandriva Linux Contributor [http://www.mandriva.com/] PulseAudio Hacker [http://www.pulseaudio.org/] Trac Hacker [http://trac.edgewall.org/]
