bfg --delete-files doesn't delete in all commits #445

Open VictorBaudot opened 2 years ago

I've runned this command bfg --delete-files '.env*' repo.git and I first thought it worked well because .env files have been removed from many commits. But not all. Some commits that are 1+ year old still have .env files in them.

Any idea why?

Update: Looks like the commits I'm seeing on Github with the non-deleted .env files are not fetched when doing git clone --mirror ... - I'm not sure why
