Hi, all. I want to remove all files except a few files, in the history of my git repository.
I tried to do that as follows: git filter-branch --index-filter "git rm --cached --ignore-unmatch $(git ls-files | grep -v '^filename$' | tr '\n' ' ')" But this does not work well if there is a file whose name is not encoded in us-ascii or includes parenthesis. git-filter-branch is great to remove some files in my repository, but not good enough to remove all except only a few. Does anyone know the better way? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
