@nerdnz@cloudisland.nz Was assuming there was going to be commit-rewriting: would that change all of your commit-history's dates? How well would this work for a repository you didn't own (or otherwise has branch- or similar "protection" enabled)?
While I'm not trans, seeing solutions like this always makes curious on details, N-order effects, etc..

@ferricoxide@blahaj.zone The history rewriting approach I've mentioned doesn't change commit dates - I wanted to make sure I found something that preserved as much metadata as possible Rewriting the history like that is unlikely to be viable on work projects or open source ones with lots of collaborators, but it is a good option to know about for things like personal projects
