Add git-filter-repo
What does this MR do?
Gitaly is in the process of adding the ability to rewrite repository
history. To do this, we will use git-filter-repo
, built by a
prominent contributer to the Git project. The script becomes available
as a Git subcommand when it is placed in $PATH.
For the standard base image we can install it directly via apt-get
.
For ubi8 we need to install it via pip3
instead, which writes a
wrapper script to /usr/local/bin
.
