Once somebody works this out, you can also simply make it available as a |
| 9 |
"replacement" ref. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
See 'git replace' |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
This would mean, essentially, you could push a ref called |
| 14 |
'refs/replace/oldcvs' of value "firstsha1 oldcvssha1" and anyone who wanted |
| 15 |
it could manually fetch it, and any one who did fetch it would get the |
| 16 |
full history in all of its glory, and then git would transparently pretend |
| 17 |
that history was always there anyway. |

No rebasing required, and available on a need-to-know basis :) |
