Moving scripts to a private repo

Some of the scripts in my scripts directory are private because they contain personally identifying or security relevant information, or are just not useful for others without modifications. So I decided not to publish it on github as-is, but to make a private repo for scripts that are not for general use.

What I did was create a fast-export stream for the files that are suitable for publication.

cd ~/src/scripts
git fast-export HEAD -- backup-local.sh checkfor.py clean-keyring.sh \
clean.sh  clock.sh csv2tbl.py dicom2png.py ffmutt.sh find-modified.sh \
fixbb.sh genbackup.sh genotp.py genpw.py git-check-all.py \
git-origdate.py gitdates.py histdata.py img4latex.py ips.sh jpeg2pdf.sh \
make-flac.py make-mp3.py mkdistinfo.sh mkindexpic.sh mkpdf.sh \
mkphotopage.py nospaces.py old.py open.py pdfselect.sh pdftopdf.sh \
povmake.sh py-ver.py raw2pgm.sh serve-git.sh set-title.sh setres.sh \
sha256.py tifftopdf.py tolower.sh vid2mkv.py vid2mp4.py >../pub.fi

This was then imported into a fresh directory.

cd ~/src
mkdir public-scripts
cd public-scripts
git init .
git fast-import <../pub.fi

In the original (now private) repo, I used git rm to remove the files that are now in the public repo. I did not bother trying to expunge the complete history of those files.

For comments, please send me an e-mail.
