Instead of rebase, --orphan seems to be the right answer for pruning history: create a new git-annex orphan branch and git add and commit the files. So:
|
||||||
|
<pre><code>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
git status
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# verify there are no uncommitted or untracked files
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# master branch
|
||||||
|
git branch -m old-master
|
||||||
|
git checkout --orphan master
|
||||||
|
git add .
|
||||||
|
git commit -m 'first commit'
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# git annex branch
|
||||||
|
git branch -m git-annex old-git-annex
|
||||||
|
git checkout git-annex
|
||||||
|
git checkout --orphan git-annex
|
||||||
|
git add .
|
||||||
|
git commit -m 'first commit'
|
||||||
|
git checkout master
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# at this point, you may want to double-check that everything is still OK
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# finally, remove branches and clean up the objects:
|
||||||
|
git branch -D old-master old-git-annex
|
||||||
|
git reflog expire --expire=now --all
|
||||||
|
git prune
|
||||||
|
git gc
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
</code></pre>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The repo remains functional and .git is smaller.
