Rebasing onto laravel/laravel to keep up to date has (predictably) polluted my commit history.

Hey,

As the title states I used git rebase upstream/develop in order to update my application with the latest changes to the develop branch.

This is great in the sense that I have an easy way to keep up to date with the changes, but it's left me a little annoyed (and I should have seen it coming!).

Basically, it's meant that my repo now contains every commit that's found on the laravel/laravel develop branch. Something like 4000 commits! I'd rather not have my repo contain the entire history of laravel/laravel, so I was wondering if you guys knew a way to remove the first 4000 or so commits without screwing up my changes, (all mine are the most recent in the history obviously, because I rebased).

In order to keep it up to date in the future I'll probably use the method discussed here.

Anyway, thanks you in advance for your help!
