You can get away without recloning, but it is very likely to lead to mistakes and people merging both the old bad history with the new good history and pushing it up, making everything a mess. I do not recommend it; it's a much better idea to have everyone reclone. See items 4 & 5 under the "Discussion" section of the manual (https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/newren/git-filter-repo/blob/docs/html/git-filter-repo.html#DISCUSSION) for details. |
