A while ago I "complained" that rebase would skip empty commits. You
might experiment with that. Alternatively, the following works for me:
git filter-branch --commit-filter 'cmd="git commit-tree"; test `git show
--pretty=oneline $GIT_COMMIT|wc -l` = 1 && cmd="skip_commit"; $cmd "$@"'
-- --all
This skips all commits which introduce no diff. It will not remove
branches or tags which are related only to those subdirs.
I am sure there will be more elegant ways to do that (esp. the test with
wc).
