Hello Everybody! I hope someone can help me with this because I didn't find any information on that subject in the internet, and I'm struggling with this for a whole two days now....
we're using git for a year now and the repository grow very big, the main remote repository is located on a local network computer and all the developers push and pull from it the problem is, it's taking a lot of time for simple everyday operations like pull, push, show log (TortoiseGit), check for modifications (TortoiseGit) - to complete. also all the old commits are irrelevant (there is no way in the world we could ever revert to those commits) is there a way to somehow cut off half of the repository, meaning get rid of the old commits, for instance throw away all the first half of year of commits in order to make the repository lighter and easier to manage? Scott Chacon (http://git-scm.com/) recommended his post: Replace Kicker (http://progit.org/2010/03/17/replace.html). I like the idea of pushing all history (old commits) to a separate ("history") repository while removing the same history from the main repository. unfortunately his tutorial doesn't explain how to synchronize this change with the main remote repository and with all other local branches. we are around 5 developers, so it's still reasonable to go over all the repositories of everybody and rebase every brunch in the system manually if that what it's take to make it work... Thank you for any help on that subject! Netta -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
