You need the `git filter-branch` command. To make it as fast as possible, you can use it with the "--index-filter" command-line option and script around it with `git cat-file` and `git update-index`. If you'd prefer to trade speed for easiness of implementation, consider the "--tree-filter" command-line option instead. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
