As Jason did that with success, I asked him to do the filtering for org-mode.git too -- which might be too much (my bad). Jason, Carsten, what is your take on this? > 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 Which is more in the spirit of what git allows: keep the revision history as *truthful* as possible. > and we can just change the URL to point at the new server and we're > done. I'm for the direction you suggest -- I let Jason and Carsten tell me what they think before deciding. Thanks for voicing this in time! -- Bastien
