Surgically removing commits in mercurial
I have accidentally committed multiple large data files (commits 3 and 4 in the example below) to my default branch in Mercurial and added commits on top without noticing. I want to surgically remove those commits. Fortunately, no code was touched in those commits so it should seem possible to easily remove them. I can't use Strip because it will remove all child commits too. How can I remove them?
For example, I want to remove revision 3 and 4 entirely in the screenshot below. You can find the example repository here in case it helps!
