Command to delete git-branchless data in a repository

[ilyagr]

I got git-branchless into a weird state (unfortunately, it seems different to reproduce), and I was looking for a way to reinitialize it from a clean slate. It turns out that git-branchless init --uninstall only deletes the git-branchless configuration added to the git repository, but not its data.

Firstly, I think this would be a nice feature - there should be an option to git-branchless init --uninstall --wipe-data, both for people who change their mind about using git-branchless and for people who want to start afresh. The documentation should mention that you should add a branch to any commit chains you want to keep before doing this.

Secondly, I came up with a command to do this that I wanted to share. I think that wipes everything, right?

git branchless init --uninstall &&
rm -r $(git rev-parse --git-path branchless) $(git rev-parse --git-path refs/branchless)

Yep, that looks about right. I didn't make a command which deletes data since I hadn't needed it and I worried about deleting important data, but it probably makes sense to create one at this point. Feel free to open a pull request 😄.

You can also try git-branchless repair to fix certain issues.
