Hi all, I have been working for a couple of years on a scientific project in which I have kept my source code (C++) in a private Git repository on a private server. I am now at the stage where I would like to open source my code under GPLv3, and place it in a public repository (eg GitHub or GoogleCode). However, because the code has been private up to now, I have not bothered with adding the GPL to the source files. I'm worried about what this implies for a public repo -- I can add the GPL and commit, but this would not stop people from lifting the unlicensed code from previous commits.
Is there anyway to fiddle the commits in a Git repository in order to add such a licence to the entire history?
