Proposal

As a user I would like to purge and delete information relating to a single commit, for example - when someone accidentally pushes a password or some sensitive information.

Due to how GitLab works it is currently not possible to clear all references pertaining to the data. As a project owner, on a project I would like the possibility to specify a commit and have that commit be removed from:

• The database
  • The activity for that project
  • The activity for that user
  • The activity for that group
  • All references in the database to that commit (non exhaustive)
• The Git history

The use of this feature should be logged in the audit events for that project.
