Previous Git history availability #2

Open jcfr opened 2 years ago

jcfr commented 2 years ago

Do you happen to have the previous history available ?

If yes, could you push it in a different repo ? We could then clean it up by removing the large file with the help of git filtering.

Rational: Working on integrating the effect in a custom application, this would be help to address potential issues.

What do you mean by previous history? Why is it not possible to filter out the large file from this repository?

jcfr commented 2 years ago

The history has been forced pushed and there is only one commit now.

@sebastianandress Removing the version - and thereby removing all the extremely valuable information of how the software evolved, what decisions were made, who contributed to the code, etc. - is a big loss and therefore it must be avoided. I see that you saved the old repository, so the information thankfully not gone forever, but the duplication was unnecessary and causes confusion (as this issue demonstrates). Instead of renaming/recreating a repository from scratch, the unwanted large file can be simply removed by git filtering. It is not a trivial operation, but @jcfr would be ready to do it for you.

@jcfr The full version history is available here: https://github.com/sebastianandress/Slicer-SurfaceWrapSolidify_old Could you remove the big file(s)?

@sebastianandress Once the cleaned git repository is available you can force push that to the old repository, remove this new repository, and restore the old repository's name to the original name.
