			reposurgeon - a repository surgeon

This is not the original reposurgeon version as published by Eric S.
Raymond. You can find the original reposurgeon at
http://www.catb.org/~esr/reposurgeon/

This fork of reposurgeon is hacked to meet my need when converting
PyInstaller to git. Most notable:
- command `gitsvnparse` is cribbled,
- then man page is not updated,
- pylint may not work,
- and others.

reposurgeon enables risky operations that version-control systems don't
want to let you do, such as (a) editing past comments and metadata,
(b) excising commits, (c) coalescing commits, and (d) removing files
and subtrees from repo history. The original motivation for
reposurgeon was to clean up artifacts created by repository
conversions.

To test the correctness of this software, ensure that pylint
is installed and then type type 'make check'
