Steven,

I've been thinking myself of writing a pdumpfs lookalike that uses git
internally. Sounds you you've got one already ;-)

In terms of getting rid of old history, have you considered moving a
graft point "forward" in time, and running git-repack -a -d? With your
history being (mostly?) linear this could be a workable scheme, but I
don't have much practice with using grafts.

cheers,


martin
