Good. If such a mechanism seems too problematic for you, then suggest another mechanism for resetting the history of a specific file. Alternatives are even more problematic. If the file placed in the list I proposed will go into the git history only as a link without checking and calculating the amounts, then isolating the file included in the history will change all the amounts. -- zvezdochiot
