I have a Git repository with several huge media files (images and audio files). Several versions of these media files have been successively commited to the repo. The files are successively refined versions of the same assets, and they have the same name.
I want to keep only the latest version in the Git repository, because it is becoming too big.
What is the simplest way to do this?
How can I propagate these changes correctly to the upstream repository?
I have a script (github gist here) to remove a selection of unwanted folders from the entire history of a git repo, or to delete all but the latest version of a folder.
It's hard-coded to assume that all git repositories are in ~/repos, but that's easy to change. It should also be easy to adapt to work with individual files.
