Hi Team,
Kindly note that, we have a Bitbucket repository with a long time history (~11 years) and long back there was a large file that was commited, pushed and later discovered and deleted.
When we tried to migrate to GitHub, we found this because the history still had the large file and cleaned up using the BFG repo Cleaner. However, based on the documentations and discussions, we find that the rewrite will generate new commit ids and will make all the related old PR's references invalid because the commits are newly generated.
We also find that there is a file called as `object-id-map.old-new.txt` which was generated by the repo cleaner, will it possible for us to restore the commit and PR mapping so that we can preserve the PR and migrate to GitHub.
Your suggestions or help will be very useful for us. Kindly advise.
Regards,
Saravanan D
