rewrite history to remove big keynote file #43

Closed orbeckst closed 5 years ago

orbeckst commented 5 years ago

I added (and removed) a 70 MB file intro-mdanalysis.key.

I want to remove it from the history , following https://help.github.com/articles/removing-sensitive-data-from-a-repository/ and using http://rtyley.github.io/bfg-repo-cleaner/ so that attendees don't have to wait long for cloning or shallow clone.

Note: WILL REWRITE HISTORY. Everyone should merge branches first.

Done.

git pull

should do a forced update.
