All,

Running

git-filter-branch --tree-filter 'rm -rf subdir/' -- --all

as shown below seems to leave empty commits
corresponding to subdir/ in the tree.  Is this the expected
behavior?  If so is there a command to remove the empty
commits?  Using git-rebase -i to edit the commit history
works, but is a bit tedious on a large tree.

Many thanks!

Cheers,
David
