git filter branch - Remove contents of a commit from a git repo after its already been git -rm'ed and pushed -

-

so had user add , remove large directory of files in workspace 2 distinct commits. pushed changes central repo , end user looks noop. problem our central repo has jumped 50x in size because of this. have tried several things filter branch , not working.

so folder added @ root level. name of .core

i have tried following filter-branch based on links:

http://www.somethingorothersoft.com/2009/09/08/the-definitive-step-by-step-guide-on-how-to-delete-a-directory-permanently-from-git-on-widnows-for-dumbasses-like-myself/

http://dound.com/2009/04/git-forever-remove-files-or-folders-from-history/

remove directory permanently git

the final commands have tried looks this:

git filter-branch -f --index-filter "git rm -rf --cached --ignore-unmatch .core" --prune-empty --tag-name-filter cat -- --all rm -rf .git/refs/original rm -rf .git/refs/logs git reflog expire --expire=now --all && git gc --prune=now --aggressive

the resulting output says ref unchanged. have tried changing reference of .core various variations such ./.core, *.core/*, ..... nothing getting removed.

thanks.

use the bfg, simpler, faster alternative git-filter-branch, designed removing unwanted files git history.

carefully follow bfg's usage instructions - core part this:

$ java -jar bfg.jar  --delete-folders .core  my-repo.git

any folder named .core (that isn't in latest commit) removed git repository's history. can use git gc clean away dead data:

$ git reflog expire --expire=now --all && git gc --prune=now --aggressive

the bfg typically @ least 10-720x faster running git-filter-branch, , easier use.

full disclosure: i'm author of bfg repo-cleaner.

java - UML - How would you draw a try catch in a sequence diagram? -

is there standard way of drawing try catch sequence diagrams? i've made attempt based on this feel end result doesn't feel right. code diagram based around: public static void save () { try { filehandle filehandle = gdx.files.external(file); filehandle.writestring(boolean.tostring(constantshandler.soundenabled)+"\n", false); (int = 0; < 5; i++) { filehandle.writestring(integer.tostring(constantshandler.highscores[i])+"\n", true); } } catch (throwable e) { } } my attempt note: know still need add loop. that's ok. fragments meant show conditional control flow in sequence diagram. superstructures puts limitations on use of fragments (see pp. 467 of ss2.1.1). should use critical region try part above. , option catch . however, keep telling can take quite freedom in using uml. it's language , such changes in life time. long reader ge...
