Reset history
Closed this issue · 7 comments
I think we should consider resetting the history on this project. We started as a straight clone to ease the transition, but now that we've transitioned to a more permanent structure, there isn't a whole lot of benefit to keeping history on all of vendor as a for instance.
Keeping the old history is hiding the real actors in this repo from people searching through.
@k82cn, what do you think?
can you filter-branch out nearly everything?
can you filter-branch out nearly everything?
The only way I know to do that is to start over from kube/kube. Knowing the end state I could use filter-branch --subdirectory-filter and then copy th ecurrent state of the repo over and force push.
Is there a cleaner way?
Not that I know of.

Agree with you to clear up the history :). Thanks very much.
Alright, here goes. There's no way to do this other than a force push. I've created a branch here: https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/kube-mesos-framework/tree/unfiltered-history which I think will survive the push, but which we should remove when we're sure we're happy with the new history.
I think it worked and the result looks a lot cleaner.
