Gitub has a nice write at https://help.github.com/articles/remove-sensitive-data The short sort is that to remove it from the history you need to apply 'git rm' as a filter-branch to your repo. Two items of note, anyone that has pulled will have to rebase and if you really want it removed (no direct access even with the commit's SHA1 key), the remote can't be updated with a push. It will have to deleted and replaced with a repo that was updated with the filter-branch. Also note that this may effect tagging.
