Is it really necessary to rebuild the org-mode git repository (with

Would creating a commit to remove the ORGWEBPAGES directory in the
existing repository not work just as well? This will keep all of the
existing SHA1s for historical commits intact.
I think you're right. Our goal was to remove ORGWEBPAGES/ into a new
repo with a proper history of its own. As Jason did that with
success,
I asked him to do the filtering for org-mode.git too -- which might be
too much (my bad).
Jason, Carsten, what is your take on this?
I agree with Bernt.
Cheers

If you remove the ORGWEBPAGES directory with just a commit in the
org-mode repository then the SHA1's of previous commits will not
change
Which is more in the spirit of what git allows: keep the revision
history as *truthful* as possible.
and we can just change the URL to point at the new server and we're
done.
I'm for the direction you suggest -- I let Jason and Carsten tell me
what they think before deciding.
Thanks for voicing this in time!
