It's technically possible to run a sed -i -e 'blarg' on every file in
the repo on every commit and by doing, make a new commit history.
You'd use git filter-branch and like 50 shell scripts.  It can be
done, but you'll spend all weekend on it.  I have done something
similar just to say I did it.

If the commit history has any value that'd be the way to go.
Otherwise rm -rf .git is probably the way to go.
