See 'git replace' This would mean, essentially, you could push a ref called 'refs/replace/oldcvs' of value "firstsha1 oldcvssha1" and anyone who wanted it could manually fetch it, and any one who did fetch it would get the full history in all of its glory, and then git would transparently pretend that history was always there anyway. No rebasing required, and available on a need-to-know basis :) -- Kent *KENTNL* - https://metacpan.org/author/KENTNL
