git-obliterate - rewrite past commits to remove some files

       Written by <brianloveswords@gmail.com>

       Completely  remove some files from the repository, including past commits and tags. WARNING! This command
       will rewrite the history similar to gitrebase(though it affects more). The rewritten history  will  have
       different object names for all the objects and will not converge with the original branch. So avoidusingitoncommitsthatyoushared.  And  it  will  mess  up  stash, so don'thavestashwhenyourungitobliterate.

       Remove .secret from the repository:

           $ git obliterate .secret

       Remove .secret from commits between origin and feature:

           $ git obliterate .secret -- feature ^origin

       Remove .secret from commit abcdefg to commit 1234567

           $ git obliterate .secret -- abcdefg..1234567

       You can pass rev-list options to indicate the range  of  commits  affected.  Those  options  need  to  be
       separated with '--' before them. Run githelprev-list to see the acceptable options.
