Hi Bastien, Is it really necessary to rebuild the org-mode git repository (with filter-branch) to remove the ORGWEBPAGES/ content. Anyone with a clone and local branches of the existing repository will need to move all of these to the new repository. Would creating a commit to remove the ORGWEBPAGES directory in the existing repository not work just as well? This will keep all of the existing SHA1s for historical commits intact. If you remove the ORGWEBPAGES directory with just a commit in the org-mode repository then the SHA1's of previous commits will not change and we can just change the URL to point at the new server and we're done.
