My googling powers have yet eluded to find me an answer to this: Given an (unpublished) Git repository and a "grafts" file that slightly re-orders commits, how do I reprocess this repository (using git-filter-branch, probably) to have a true history according to the "grafts" file? I am trying to use git-import-tars to import non-linear development history, and then use a grafts file to find the "proper" history. I would like to re-order the history before i publish it in a public Git repository. -- \\// Peter - http://www.softwolves.pp.se/ ``` ## Jeff King, 2009-02-25 06:10 Subject: Re: Using grafts file to rewrite history Message-ID: <20090225061018.GA6211@coredump.intra.peff.net> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20090225061018.GA6211%40coredump.intra.peff.net In-Reply-To: ``` On Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 06:29:46AM +0100, Peter Krefting wrote: > Given an (unpublished) Git repository and a "grafts" file that slightly > re-orders commits, how do I reprocess this repository (using > git-filter-branch, probably) to have a true history according to the > "grafts" file? Running filter-branch at all will glue the grafts together. It is even one of the examples given in the git-filter-branch(1) manpage. -Peff ```
