[pulseaudio-discuss] Sharing the code for a pulseaudio based whole home audio system

[Matthew Patterson]

Ok. I have done a LOT of cleanup on the code. Consolidated the numerous 
config files, made the directory structure somewhat logical, etc. I also 
converted to git using git-cvsimport without too much trouble.

So now I have the question, how to I push my repository up to gitorous 
(already have an account) without including the entire history? I have 
cleaned the current tree to not contain any passwords/etc, but previous 
checkins definitely contained that sort of stuff.

It really seems like I should be able to push only the current code 
snapshot and let things progress from there. That way I get to keep my 
history and the server continues from here on out? Is git rebase what I 
am looking for???

Thanks,
Matt
