title: Is possible to copy only the log of commits to another project with git? What about discarding old changes to decrease the size of the .git folder?
body: <p>I had many binary files in my git project. Due to this and the changes I have made, I had a huge <code>.git</code> folder. So I would like to create another project without these binary files and keep the logs and dates of all the commits.</p>
  
  <p>I won't need to come back to a previous version of the project. So I don't care if I lose all the changes I've made because I will keep the old project if I need to check anything.</p>
  
  <p>Is possible to achieve this? If not is there a way to decrease the size of the <code>.git</code> folder discarding old changes?</p>
